As a professional Science educator, naturalist and safari guide, I have always appreciated high-quality, technically accurate and informative posters to educate and inspire people about wildlife.
Whilst living in Kenya (from 2020 to 2024), I was looking for some educational posters to decorate my classroom. To my surprise, there was very little out there, so I decided to use my own photos to start making my own.
This started off small, and was initially focused on a very particular group of animals - snakes! This misunderstood and maligned group of animals has always captured my interest, and you will probably notice a focus on them in many of the posters on the site.
The popularity of my 'Snakes of Kenya' poster inspired me to go on to produce a wider range of posters to showcase other groups of Kenyan wildlife. Later, I broadened the range to include species from different regions, as well as producing different types of poster for different uses.
I am constantly produced new posters and as I make the move to South America in August 2024 I plan to showcase the wildlife of that region as well. Keep checking back for updates!
