International wildlife artist

Recognised as one of the world’s leading wildlife artists, Pip McGarry has an international reputation for his oil paintings of big cats and African game.

Pip first came to prominence in 2004 with his popular seven-part series on Meridian Television called ‘A Brush with the Wild’, which was co-presented by Anneka Rice. The programme was filmed on location both in Kenya and at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, with Pip teaching celebrities such as Christine Hamilton, Linda Robson, Jenny Eclair and Nerys Hughes how to paint wildlife.

He has organized and led nearly thirty safaris for wildlife artists and photographers to the remote game reserves of Northern Botswana, North and South Tanzania and Kenya. Pip has also previously lived in Central America and the Far East.

Pip was the founder of the largest wildlife art society in Europe and has been the ‘Artist -in-Residence’ at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire for over twenty years.
