Sarah Markes

Sarah Markes studied graphic design and illustration at Central St. Martins College of Art in London and has spent the two decades since, applying these skills in educational contexts in East and Southern Africa. Her work has included educational comics, awareness campaigns, radio shows and schoolbooks covering public health, human rights and environmental issues in Malawi, Tanzania, Southern Sudan and Zambia. She has also documented the cultural and natural heritage of places through artwork in order to raise awareness of their value and to support their conservation. Working with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in recent years has enabled her to contribute to the preservation of Tanzania’s incredible biodiversity. It also brought her to live for a while in Unguja.
