The Christopher Parsons Award for Artistic Excellence is The Wildlife Art Society's most prestigious award presented annual for a portfolio of four specific paintings. These must include a Portrait, Wildlife Habitat, Animal Behaviour and Artist Choice, all of which must be linked by a common theme. In 2008, Ruth was presented with the award for a portfolio entitled "It's a Bird's Life". Two of these paintings can be viewed in the Originals Gallery entitled "Crowned Crane Portrait" and "Nesting Bee-eaters". |

Originals
Most of my original work is inspired by events I have personally witnessed. My favoured medium is watercolour and I use Schminke Horadam watercolour paints on either Fabriano Classico or Artistico, Gerstaecker Classic or Saunders Waterford watercolour paper all in 300g. I also use Faber Castell 'Albrecht Durer' watercolour pencils and Swan Stabilo pastels sometimes combining them on a mixed media work.
