We’re sorry to report that in March 2023, Pigcasso passed away at 8 years old. You can read our tribute here.

A year ago, Pigcasso was a piglet born in a factory farm in South Africa. If she wasn’t saved by her human Joanne, she would be bacon by now. Instead, she’s grown into a true renaissance hog, painting colorful works of art inspired by her beautiful coastal home in Cape Town. She’s also a philanthropist who sells her creations to support the Farm Sanctuary South Africa and raise awareness for the fair treatment of farm animals, with pieces selling for as high as $2,000.
