Michael Kriezinger von Donnensetten finds inspiration where he works — the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart.

Michael writes: “I was born in what is today Zimbabwe, of Dutch-German descent. As children we had to eat in the kitchen with the servants. Out of this childhood was born my love of food and kitchens. I wrote an African cookbook, a collection of stories and recipes with African animals like zebra and hippopotamus. I’ve had my eye on a few local animals but there’s no way I’d like to hurt any of them.”
