Following a record price achieved at Christie's auctions, London May 2008, Pip McGarry is currently the second highest sold living British wildlife artist at auction.

In 2004, Pip McGarry’s successful television series ‘A Brush with the Wild’ brought his stunning oil paintings of wildlife to the public’s attention. In 2008, his painting ‘Flight of the Zebra’ sold at Christies for the record amount of £29,300.00. For 2012, this extra-ordinary month long exhibition of his paintings at the internationally acclaimed Colomb Art Gallery, London is a ‘must-see’ for any wildlife enthusiast and a rare opportunity to buy into the work of one of the world’s leading wildlife artists.

Pip is a self taught professional wildlife artist with an international reputation. He has been the ‘Artist in Residence’ at Marwell Zoological Park in Hampshire since 1998 and is the founder and Chairman of ‘Marwell International Wildlife Art Society’ (MIWAS), currently the largest wildlife art society in Europe.

Pip has also travelled extensively and has lived both in Central America and the Far East.

Over twenty of Pip’s paintings have been successfully sold by Christies and Sotheby’s at their international auctions, with some achieving record prices. Many of his paintings have been reproduced as fine art limited editions by De Montfort Fine Art and Rosenstiels and his work is now published in the UK by Sally Mitchell Fine Art. Pip is represented in the USA by Applejack Licensing.
