Ducks Unlimited Canada releases the 2019 National Art Portfolio

The 2019 National Art Portfolio is a collection of memorable moments that highlight the importance of Canada’s natural environment to our Canadian lifestyles

Connecting Canadians with the benefits of conservation is central to the DUC National Art Portfolio.

“Among our greatest challenges in wetland conservation is transforming how people relate to the natural world,” says Karla Guyn, CEO of Ducks Unlimited Canada.

“Artists have a unique ability to evoke people’s feelings about the importance of our land, water and wildlife. They are strong proponents of conservation and their artwork is a powerful tool for building appreciation and support for wetland conservation in Canada.”

“Each year DUC receives hundreds of submissions,” says Guyn. “We select pieces that we feel can inspire Canadians to reflect on their own experiences in nature and to embrace wetland conservation within their lives.”

The 2019 National Art Portfolio Collection includes:

Veiled in Mist by Terry Isaac, 2019 Artist of the Year
Spirits of the Sky by Terry Isaac
Klasa by Shannon Lawlor
Rutt and Tuke by Daniel St-Amant
Breathless by Olaf Schneider
