Meet our Artist in Residence!

Thursday 5 December 2024

Doors open 6:30pm | Official opening at 7:00pm

Join us for an evening of drinks and canapes to celebrate the first anniversary of the Hawk Conservancy Trust’s partnership with official Artist in Residence, Alex McGarry!

Alex McGarry, is a professional artist specialising in oil paintings of British wildlife and birds. She is the winner of the prestigious title ‘Up & Coming Artist of the Year’ awarded by the Fine Art Trade Guild. She is represented by the UKs largest distributor of original paintings and limited edition prints – De Montfort Fine Art. As such, her paintings can be found in galleries across the UK and on board luxury cruise ships such as the Queen Mary II. We’ve been thrilled to partner with Alex over the last year, and it has been a joy to have her actively participate in of many of our activities at the Trust. You may have met her working on a live painting at our Night of Nature event with Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin, sketching a vulture on International Vulture Awareness Day, or on her regular weekend visits capturing the beauty of our birds on canvas.

As Artist in Residence, Alex generously shares fifty percent of all painting sales and one hundred percent of profits from print sales to support the Trust’s continued conservation, research and education about birds of prey and their habitats.

Come along and meet Alex for yourself on this free to attend evening! From our resident birds to wild songbirds, you’ll be able to see a variety of her art on exhibition, including her display of paintings currently available to purchase in the Trust shop, and new artworks too . Plus, enter the raffle on the evening and be in with a chance to win an exclusive, one of a kind, sketch!

The preview evening is free to attend and we would love for you to come along. Numbers are limited – please RSVP by Friday 24th November to Jemma Benton on jemma@hawkconservancy.org or 01264 773850.
