Professional wildlife artist Alex McGarry has reached an extraordinary new milestone in her flourishing career, celebrating a spectacular sell-out exhibition aboard P&O Cruises’ Britannia in partnership with Clarendon Galleries.
The exhibition, in July, proved to be an overwhelming success, with 46 original oil paintings sold, generating an impressive £90,000 in sales and resulting in a sell-out collection. It marks Alex’s most successful exhibition to date and is proof of the growing demand for her beautiful paintings.
Specialising in oil paintings of British wildlife and birds, Alex has earned a reputation for capturing the beauty and spirit of her subjects with remarkable realism and emotion. From inquisitive robins and majestic barn owls to curious foxes and playful hares, every painting reflects countless hours of field observation, and meticulous craftsmanship in the studio. Alex is represented by Clarendon Galleries, with her work exhibited in galleries across the UK and aboard luxury cruise ships.
The exhibition onboard Britannia introduced collectors to Alex’s work, with guests responding enthusiastically to her new collection, celebrating Britain’s much-loved wildlife.
Alex’s journey has been nurtured over many years, from painting and drawing as a child, to painting as a hobby before turning professional fourteen years ago. An award-winning artist, she was named the Fine Art Trade Guild’s Up & Coming Artist of the Year and has since become Artist in Residence at the Hawk Conservancy Trust, where her work also supports the conservation and charitable works of the trust.
Reflecting on this latest achievement, the sell-out exhibition represents far more than impressive sales figures. It highlights the deep emotional connection collectors have with Alex’s paintings and her ability to bring Britain’s wildlife to life on canvas. Her passion for the natural world shines through every brushstroke, transforming fleeting moments in nature into timeless works of art.
This remarkable success aboard Britannia is another significant chapter in Alex McGarry’s career and reinforces her position as one of Britain’s most exciting contemporary wildlife artists. With growing recognition, an expanding collector base and an unwavering commitment to celebrating the natural world, the future looks exceptionally bright.
Congratulations to Alex McGarry on an outstanding achievement—46 paintings sold, £90,000 in artwork, and a completely sold-out exhibition. A truly memorable milestone and one that deserves to be celebrated.
