Paul mcFarling

In 1992, Paul graduated from Swansea University with a high Honours Degree in Environmental Biology. He promptly began working in Galapagos Islands as a naturalist guide. He met Gaby, his wife, soon after arriving. They settled in the Galapagos Islands, in Puerto Ayora.

He soon started organizing his own tours, and has put together many cruises and tours of the Galapagos and Ecuador. In 2002, he started building his house and two apartments in Puerto Ayora, which, soon after and to this day, he rents out as vacation homes.

Based in the UK for the past 10 years, Paul took to producing artwork of the animals of Galapagos. Starting off as a hobby in local markets and shows, his art has become quite popular and is a delight for many. Since starting, he has branched out to incorporate many other flowers and animals.
