Walden's Brush With Wildlife

Meet Christopher Walden

Christopher B. Walden is a nationally recognized wildlife artist whose journey began far from the forests and fields of North America. Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, Chris came to the United States in 1979 for what was intended to be a 30-day tour. Over four decades later, he’s still here—having built a celebrated career capturing the majesty of wildlife through his paintbrush.

Chris’s deep-rooted passion for the outdoors began in childhood. Growing up in New Zealand, he explored everything from the rugged bush and sheep farms to the vast waters of the South Pacific. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong fascination with nature and instilled a sense of reverence for the animal kingdom. Whether fly-fishing mountain streams for trout or chasing marlin on open waters, Chris is an avid outdoorsman who lives the world he paints. (click the About page to learn more)
