Artist Profile

Living in rural Hampshire provides wildlife artist Alex McGarry with daily inspiration, right on her doorstep. “Just walking out of the front door brings so much inspiration for the subjects I work with,” she says. Her first love is British wildlife—each animal, even those that appear identical, reveals unique markings and expressions up close, making every painting feel like a new experience.

While observing animals in their natural habitat is essential to Alex’s process, painting them in the moment is rarely practical. Armed with a sketchbook and camera, she captures quick impressions and fleeting movements, perfecting a visual shorthand that brings her subjects to life back in the studio. One of her favourite spots is an RSPB reserve in Wiltshire, where a disused railway line has become a peaceful sanctuary for birds and wildlife—a place she returns to often for inspiration.

Complimentary, fully insured delivery is included with every original artwork.

Wherever possible, we prefer to deliver original artwork personally using our own Startle vehicles and team, allowing us to take particular care of your piece throughout its journey.

Where personal delivery isn't practical, we'll use a carefully selected specialist delivery partner or trusted courier, choosing the most appropriate method for the artwork, its size, value and destination.

Whichever method we use, your artwork will be fully insured, and we'll always discuss the delivery arrangements with you before it is dispatched.

We also deliver internationally, with shipping costs calculated according to your location. Please contact us for a personalised quote, or find out more about international delivery.

Prefer to collect? Click & Collect is available from our Norfolk galleries in Norwich, Holt and Thornham.
