| Art / Artist | Oil painting of a single Mottled Duck stretching in dramatic golden sunlight, by Adam Grimm from Elyria, OH. Adam Grimm set a new record by being the youngest person to ever win the Federal Duck Stamp competition at age 21. Adam broke Jim Hautman's long-standing record (age 25) by becoming the youngest to win the Federal. Adam also is the first Junior Duck Stamp program participant to make the crossover to win the adult competition. Adam was attending the Columbus (Ohio) College of Art and Design when he was informed he had won the Federal Duck Stamp art contest. He immediately left college and returned home — fulfilling a deal he had made with his mother, that she would allow him to quit college and become a professional wildlife artist if he won the Federal Duck Stamp Contest! Adam's painting was designed and painted on his mother's kitchen table, which is a hand-made table that his father and grandfather made from a tree on their property. Adam gives tribute to his grandfather and grandmother who supported and encouraged his early artistic efforts. Adam has also painted stamps for Alaska (AK16) 2001 and Washington (WA16) 2001. |
