ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Cole Stirling’s passion for wildlife started at an early age. His earliest memories include early morning drives in his beloved Hwange National Park. Art came as a by-product and a way to express his passion. Studying photography at university, later completing field and trails guide qualifications,allowed Cole an even greater appreciation for the natural world and a want to conserve it through his work. He has always been drawn to monochrome imagery, especially the simplicity of focus on tone and form, a feature he strives for in his work.

More about
Cole Stirling
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Cole’s passion for the wilds of Africa started at an early age. Some of his earliest memories include waking up for early morning drives in Hwange National Park or sitting for hours at one of the numerous waterholes, to see what came to drink. Cole was in his element. Art came as a by-product of this love for nature and a way to express this passion. From childhood, Cole was sketching my favourite animals, trying to replicate pictures from the numerous field guides he had started to collect.
