James Hautman's career took off in 1989 when, at
the age of 25, he became the youngest artist in history to win the prestigious
Federal Duck Stamp Award. He has since won two more times, becoming only
the second artist in competition history to win three times. James has
been named Ducks Unlimited artist of the year, and was recently commissioned by
the United Nations to paint a series of endangered species stamp designs.
Robert Hautman's achievements are numerous, including winning the 2001 and
1997 Federal Duck Stamp contests. In 1995, he finished second only to his
younger brother James. His designs were selected for the 1995 Minnesota
Pheasant Stamp, 1988 and the 1992 Minnesota Duck Stamp, and the 1989 Nevada Duck
Stamp.
Joe Hautman, the eldest of the three brothers, brought home the Federal Duck
Stamp Honors in 1992 and 2002. He has also designed many state
conservation stamps and, recently, a series of endangered species stamp designs
for the United Nations. Painting is a second career for Joe who holds a
PhD in Theoretical Physics.
