James (Jim) Hautman
Acrylic painting of a pair
of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks by James (Jim) Hautman, 10095 Great
Plains Blvd,
Chaska, MN 55318. Age 25 at the time of his win, he was the youngest
wildlife artist to win the Duck Stamp Contest (until Adam Grimm in
1999 contest).
Hautman entered the contest five times before he won. In 1987, he placed third with a pair of bufflehead ducks. As a full-time wildlife artist, he exhibits regularly at the Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation's wildlife art show, as well as local exhibitions. He is a native Minnesotan and an avid outdoorsman and hunter. Painting since childhood, he decided to combine his love of the outdoors with his artistic ability.
