- Thank you to everyone at the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the judges who thought my painting was worthy of the 2024 - 2025 Federal Duck Stamp, and all of you for following over the years. Congrats to the other artists as well. There were so many amazing entries this year and I just feel very lucky to be in this position. Prints will be available later in 2024.
