The Quintessential Bird by Viola Temple Watts
Join art historian and writer Viola Temple Watts as she discusses her
latest book The Quintessential Bird: The Art of Betty Temple Watts.
Betty Temple Watts studied art as a young woman and, having developed
an interest in birds in her early married life while living in Iran
and Papua New Guinea, at the age of 48 years she decided to immerse
herself in bird art. Though a harsh self critic, Betty’s skills were
highly regarded and after her first commission in 1952 she went on to
provide bird illustrations for numerous publications until she was in
her late eighties. The Quintessential Bird allows readers a glimpse
into Betty’s joyous world of birds.
