Hi, I’m Hilary Hann.  I’m a passionate advocate for wildlife; a wildlife photographic artist; collector of coffee table wildlife photographic books (some would say that I have too many … I say “never”) and lover of anything wildlife art related.  The connecting theme is obvious, wildlife!  

I no longer offer small group bespoke safaris. However, my many years of travel to the African continent, from Chad to Zimbabwe and so many places in between, continues to inspire me to create and share with you all the remarkable and wonderful world of wildlife.

The nature of art and the nature of almost everything that becomes art means that the linear flow is never going to be the thing that gives art life.  I started out in one place many years ago, probably as far back as growing up in Kenya with my little box brownie to where I find myself now, so many years later. A little more sophisticated, much more focussed but just as much in love with artistic expression of all genres.

If beautiful, emotive photographic art is something that you enjoy, I have galleries available to explore here along with a number of gift ideas to consider.  Newly created is a Collector’s Edition of my most notable work in a limited edition, leather bound album in a lay flat 12x32in full spread size for the most discerning.  If you enjoy your weightlifting at the gym, you can use this.  Price on application.  As each book is hand crafted it is made by order only and takes several weeks.  A snippet of the book will be uploaded in coming weeks with a short video.

Also in the works is my memoir of my childhood days in East Africa, along with how becoming an artist changed my life.  It’s coming along as fast as a giant African snail but creation takes time.

I have shared many of my funniest moments on safari in the Storytelling page, or what I feel are the most interesting but who knows.  I had to fill the website with something. That information is probably enough for most people but if not, the more mundane details …

I was born in Singapore and raised in Malaya (as it was then), North Borneo, Uganda and Kenya.  Travel for children is good, life is an adventure and living most of my formative years in Kenya, life certainly was always exciting.  Now resident in South Australia I spend as much time as I can either on safari, planning to be on safari or dreaming of safaris.  In between, I stay creative with my images and my writing.
