<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><img src="images/Biography_PipWithGiraffe.jpg" width="300" height="203" align="right">Pip
is a self-taught professional wildlife artist specialising in oil. He
has organised and run varying and unique wildlife painting workshops for
the last seven years, lecturing and demonstrating techniques. Through
his paintings he has also raised many thousands of pounds for various
wildlife causes, including the Dambari Field Research Station for Black
Rhinos in Zimbabwe, Save The Tiger and the Epulu Okapi Game Reserve in
Zaire.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Pip has travelled
extensively overseas, having previously lived both in Central America
and the Far East. He conducts regular field research trips abroad in order
to study wildlife and habitat, camping in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro
conservation area in Tanzania in 1999 and again under canvas in the remote
Northern Botswana reserves of Chobe River, Savute and Okavango Delta in
2000. In September 2001 and again in September 2002 he organised and led
two further safaris for artists and photographers in Northern Botswana,
once more camping in this vast and trackless wilderness area.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Since turning professional,
he has been the subject of several broadcasts by Meridian Television and
has also featured in national newspapers and magazines. His paintings
have been auctioned at each of the international Wildlife Art Auctions
held by Christies and Sotheby's between 1998 and 2000, maintaining a 100%
sale rate at Christies. His work won 'Best in Show' at the 2000 National
Exhibition of Wildlife Art in Liverpool and more recently 'Best painting
by a Professional Artist' at the Paignton Zoo Wildart Open Exhibition
in September 2001. His work has been published both as limited and open
editions by major UK fine art publishers and distributed in the UK and
abroad. His paintings are now published by De Montfort Fine Art Ltd and
this year alone has already seen a further eight of his paintings published
as limited edition fine art prints in the UK. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Pip is the founder
and Chairman of Marwell Art Society, which has grown into one of the largest
and most successful wildlife art societies in the UK with well over two
hundred artist members. It is also the only zoo-based society in Britain
and within the National Federation of Zoos. He has been the 'Artist-in-Residence'
at Marwell Zoological Park in Hampshire since January 1999, the first
time such a position has been held there. He is a council member of Marwell
Zoological Society (12,000+ members), an Associate Professional of the
SAA, a member of the Fine Art Trade Guild and a member of the Wildlife
Art Society.</font></p>

McGarry has a unique approach to painting wild animals which is the key

plane. His fine painting of a Persian Leopard in our May sale was an example
of this talent. There is now a frisson of interest throughout the room when
his paintings come up for auction'</b></i></font> </td>
