A STUNNING new exhibition by a wildlife artist, author and naturalist is on display in the High Moorland Visitor Centre in Princetown. Robin Armstrong, the region's foremost wildlife artist, will be showing 24 items of his work until June 6. He was born in 1947 and has been painting wildlife since he sold his first picture of a prairie falcon at the age of thirteen. In recent years painting in oils has added another facet to his work and some of these paintings were featured in his book Dartmoor River, published in 2002. The author of six books about life as an artist, angler and naturalist, he has for the last few years leased a studio overlooking the Tavy estuary, where a wealth of wildlife can be observed. Admission to the High Moorland Visitor Centre is free. It is open daily from 10 am to 4pm.
