Recognised as one of the world’s leading wildlife artists, Pip 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.

He has organised and led more than twenty safaris for wildlife artists and photographers to the remote game reserves of Northern Botswana, Tanzania and Kenya. More than thirty of his original paintings have been sold at international fine art auctions and in May 2008 his painting ‘Flight of the Zebras’ sold for £29,300.00 ($57,985.00) at Christies in London.

His recent sell out solo exhibition in Torquay in 2013 produced six-figure sales with his ‘White Tiger’ portrait selling for a record £40,000.00. For the fourth year in a row, Pip has been one of the judges for the BBC ‘Wildlife Artist of the Year’ and for the last two years, the prize for the winning artist was to travel with Pip to Botswana on safari. Over sixty limited editions of his work have been reproduced by major fine art publishers. See less
