Other exhibitors include Hamish Mackie, Annabel Pope, Philip Blacker, Kate Denton, Davina Bosanquet, Elizabeth Armstrong, Amy Sandys-Lumsdaile and Henry McHale.
The three-day event offers visitors, buyers and artists alike a unique marketplace in which to do business, offering direct access to the world of animal art. A fabulous opportunity to discover new talent and to buy directly from the artist.
Organiser Jamie Polk said “We think we have found a niche in the art market. This is not chocolate box art. This is art depicting animals and environments that may not exist in 100 years time. “
