Remembering David Maass

David was a true pioneer in wildlife art and an integral part of the foundation that built Wild Wings. From his early days painting waterfowl inspired by his childhood in Minnesota, to becoming a five-time Ducks Unlimited International Artist of the Year, his passion for the outdoors and his craft never wavered. Even in his later years, he was still in his studio, brush in hand, creating the scenes he loved most.

David Maass was one of the most recognized wildlife artists of all time. He inspired many of the artists who have graced the covers of The Upland Almanac. Please send some of your favorite prints and any stories you have about David to ernie@uplandalmanac.com.
