Pip and Helen celebrate!
In September 2018, Pip met with Helen Swaby, the renowned founder, owner and CEO of De Montfort Fine Art, and with Director Sara Hill to discuss working together again. De Montfort are now one of the world’s largest and most successful fine art publishers, owning over fifty galleries in the UK alone. Their luxurious Whitewall Galleries can be found in cities and towns across the country, but also on Cunard and P&O liners and cruise ships. In addition, their boutique Clarendon Galleries can be visited in many prestigious locations such as Marlow, Chelsea, Richmond and Cobham. Pip’s work is being launched by De Montfort on 24th January 2019 at their flagship Clarendon Gallery in Mayfair.

Pip with Nerys Hughes and Anneka Rice filming at Marwell
Pip was the official 'Artist In Residence' at Marwell Zoological Park for over twenty-six years, before standing down. During that time he devised the seven-part Meridian Television series 'A Brush with The Wild' in which he taught celebrities Helen Lederer, Linda Robson, Leslie Joseph, Christine Hamilton, Jenny Éclair and Nerys Hughes how to paint wildlife. Their paintings were later sold to raise funds for Marwell's amazing work with endangered species. The programme was presented by Anneka Rice and filmed on location at Marwell and in Kenya – the series was very successful and achieved double the nearest ratings of any other region at the time.
