Meet The Giant Panda Making Big Bucks For Her Artworks

Yang Yang the giant panda is taking the art world by storm with her abstract paintings selling for a mint.

Vienna Zoo is home to a cuddly artist who is raising funds to create her own photo book all about pandas.

Meet Yang Yang, the abstract artist who finds time between her busy schedule of eating and napping to create masterpieces.

After learning to use a paint brush, Yang Yang's keepers decided to use her talent to raise funds for photographer Daniel Zupanc to create a photo book all about the popular pandas at the Austrian zoo.

Eighteen-year-old Yang Yang returned to work after giving birth to twins two years ago, as well as three other babies, and the working mum of five is loving the attention.

There are only 100 paintings available and you can own a Yang Yang original for about $780, you can buy them online.

Yang Yang’s abstract works of simple black and white splotches have drawn comparisons to American expressionist Jackson Pollock.

Although her keepers lend Yang Yang a hand by holding the canvas, she is given full freedom to express herself, with her custom brush made of straw and finger paint.
