Wildlife in Focus: Matt Patterson’s Journey in Art and Conservation

Join us at The Walden Woods Project, as part of The Concord Festival of Authors, for a presentation from Matt Patterson! About Matt Patterson.

About the presentation: At a young age, Matt was fascinated with nature and art, and he has traveled all over to research his subjects. An important part of his illustration process is seeing and learning about his subjects in the wild. In his presentation, he will discuss his experiences working in the field, conservation, his art, and researching the three most recent books he worked on with the award-winning author Sy Montgomery.
