ART OF THE NATURAL WORLD BY AWARD WINNING ARTIST.

RUTH BAKER WALTON

Specializing in African wildlife, Birds and the drama of nature.

Illustrated Talks

 

I have been presenting illustrated talks about Africa and the inspiration for my work for 10 years and in this time I have spoken to a variety of clubs, societies and organisations including Probus/ W.I.'s/ Art Clubs/ Ladies Groups and many more.

The slide show lasts between 45minutes - 1 hour, discussing and illustrating some of the exciting and interesting events I have witnessed which inspire my work. I also include slides of paintings that have resulted from these trips and the methods I use to achieve them.

Finally I spend 5-10 minutes answering questions.

I usually bring 1 or 2 originals with me and at the end of the Presentation I have a number of Limited Edition Prints for sale.

From Redhill WI
"The speaker, Ruth Baker Walton, showed us wonderful slides and paintings of Africa, which had been such an inspiration for her art, recalling the colours and patterns of the landscape and it's wildlife."
From The Port of Bristol Authority Retired Employees Assoc.,
"A unique presentation of African wildlife by a most talented artist, accompanied by a dialogue giving a very personal view of travelling in Africa."
