It was my pleasure meeting and talking to David Footer at critique night at the gallery. He brought some of his work in to be critiqued by a group, including myself, of peer artists.. Imagine that? Look at his website and you'll know what I mean.
David Footer, now 76 years of age, has been involved with nature and wildlife on many levels for over 66 years.
Since 1994, his art has been on the covers of Maine Fish and Wildlife, Canada’s Eastern Woods and Waters, and in 2002, a 13-page feature story was published in the Art of Angling Journal. His work has been of interest to numerous other publications over the years, ranging from fly- fishing magazines, books and newspapers, and most recently in a pictorial publication from the Images of America series, titled “Rangeley Lakes Region,” by Don Palmer, President of the Rangeley Region Guides’ & Sportsmen’s Association. Palmer gives Dave credit for carrying on the mastery of the taxidermy craft, handed down to him from Herb Welch. Notably, Welch is considered by many to have been the best taxidermist of his day.
