ARTISTS' ANIMAL ATTRACTION

Talented artists from Hampshire and around the world made sure visitors to Marwell Zoo had a truly wild time this month.

Members of Marwell Art Society staged their fourth annual wildlife art exhibition, featuring about 500 paintings, sculptures and ceramics.

Art societychairman Pip McGarry said: "There's real energy and zap coming from the artists. We had work from non-professionals right through to top international wildlife artists who have sold at Christies and Sotheby's auctions."

A percentage of sales went directly to help conservation at Marwell..
