Richard Clifton, a Delaware native, is a self-taught artist who has chosen the classic genre of
waterfowl as his specialty. His success has been marked by numerous accolades. Since 1991,
when he won his first duck stamp contest, Clifton has accumulated nineteen state stamps in
just eight years—placing him fifth on the all-time duck stamp list for awards. Richard was
selected to paint the 1996 Australian duck stamp. In 1997, he won the New Hampshire contest
for the third time and in 1998, he became the first three-time winner in his home state. In
1999, Richard agreed to paint the New York and New Jersey duck stamps bringing his total
number of stamps to twenty-three over all. Richard’s work has been shown at the country’s
finest art shows, including the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition and the Oklahoma Wildlife Art
Show and he has been chosen artist of the year by many conservation groups and Ducks U.
