Mark Hankinson grew up on a farm on the Isle of Wight. After
leaving school he lived in Southern Africa for six years whilst he
worked as a professional guide in Botswana, was the farm manager of
a nature reserve in the Drakensberg Mountains and was Head Ranger of
the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve. His love of the African landscape and
wildlife, and desire to portray it, eventually persuaded him to
return to England to attend art school. On the advice of his father
David, the well known portrait painter, he spent two years at the
Byam Shaw School of Art. |
