Nancy Howe
Acrylic painting of a pair of King Eiders by Nancy Howe, Rte. 1, Box 402, East Dorset, Vermont 05253. Ms. Howe was the first woman to design a Federal Duck stamp. She has an A.B. in art from Vermont's Middlebury College and has been painting since childhood. Married with two young sons, she accompanies her husband waterfowl hunting, and has helped him train a retriever. An active member of Ducks Unlimited, Howe has exhibited her work with that organization as well as in numerous other art shows.
