Richard Plasschaert

For Richard Plasschaert nature is as close as his own backyard. A short walk takes him to the nearby woods, marshlands or vast stretches of farm fields. These surroundings, together with a rich imagination, provide unlimited reference for his own vision of the outdoors.

Although Mr. Plasschaert's art was well known in the Midwest, his career attained national stature when his entry, "Two Mallards in Flight," was selected as the 1980-81 Federal Duck Stamp design. With this honor he officially joined the ranks of America's premier wildlife artists. He recalls with a smile, "It took me 20 years to become an overnight success." This comment would be a surprise to the many collectors of his art who already appreciated his attention to subject detail and warm, authentic landscapes.

In addition to winning the prestigious Federal Duck Stamp competition, Mr. Plasschaert has created a wide variety of other state and conservation group stamp designs.
