All For the Love of the Forest
Gallery Presentation
I love to speak to groups and gatherings: to show my paintings, read poems, tell stories, show my films . . . to share the love I feel for the forest and to inspire people to deepen their connection with nature—and to find and follow their own passion in life.
If you are planning an in-person nature-themed event I would love an invitation to give a presentation, taking people deep into a forest experience through poetry and imagery; delving into the beauty, the wonder, and the wisdom brought to us by time spent in the wild woods.
If your group is online I would love to be a guest speaker. You could invite me to give a live presentation for your group over Zoom, or record a conversation or be interviewed for your podcast, webinar or summit.
I can also offer a mini-workshop on finding magic in the natural world and expressing it creatively.

Letter of Endorsement From a Library:
“I can heartily endorse Barbara Brown as a presenter for any library. On Sunday, April 8, 2017, Barbara did an excellent ‘Authors Reading’ at our little Slocan Community Library with 25 people in attendance.
“It was a pleasure to work with Barbara before the event, making plans for the reading, preparing an article and poster, and working out logistics. Barbara’s short professionally-produced film was the perfect introduction to her presentation. She had set up a display of many of the beautiful oil paintings featured in Sylvan Reflections. During her inspirational talk based on her daily walks into our valley forest, these pictures came to life; something more is hidden in each of them and sitting quietly while listening to Barbara’s calming voice speaking and reading is an ideal way to appreciate them. She handled question period well, then sold and signed books for interested patrons. We received a lot of positive feedback after her talk. A visit from Barbara would be a positive experience for any library.”
