Darrell Bush
Born in East Moline, Illinois, Darrell Bush
enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family as a child. In 1984, after
graduating with a bachelor of fine arts degree in commercial art from
Northern Illinois University, Bush moved to Minnesota and worked as a
commercial illustrator for five years. "It was during this time I began
pursuing a second career: my true love, wildlife art," he said. In 1987,
Bush became a full time artist. Accomplishments include participation in the
1996 "Wonders of Nature" exhibit in Hong Kong and being named Artist of the
Year for the 1997 Wildlife Western and American Art Exhibit. He has
completed several conservation projects including the 1996 National Fish and
Wildlife Print, and several state hunting stamps and prints. With a total of
nine fund-raising prints, several of which have been commissioned by Ducks
Unlimited, Bush remains an active member of The National Audubon Society and
Ducks Unlimited.
