M. Douglas Walton

The Gathering

On Friday, May 3 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, May 4 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks!, (episode #519) viewers meet Ruston artist M. Douglas Walton, who was in Nepal in 2015 when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake took the lives of almost 9,000 people. It was a devastating life-altering experience that reveals itself through his paintings. Next, renowned film editor Paul Barnes shares his process. Then, artist Ben Peabody, a former student of sculptor Frank Hayden, discusses the legacy of the late artist, whose iconic work graces public spaces in Baton Rouge.
