Marcus Rutherford was born in Mombasa, Kenya and has had a long career as an International Lawyer based in London dealing with a wide range of high profile commercial and media disputes around the world, but he is also a professional illustrator, painting the animals, birds, insects and plants of East Africa which he has enjoyed watching on safari over many years.
He became interested in the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition while researching the natural history collections made by African explorers in the 19th century, including those of William Bonny, James Jameson and Emin Pasha himself.
When not researching, writing, travelling and painting, he likes to go foraging for wild mushrooms and cooking, much to the alarm of his children and grandchildren.
