About the Artist:

Known as the “dean of U.S. wildlife artists,” Owen J. Gromme was a native of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He spent most of his professional life as the curator of birds and mammals at the Milwaukee public Museum. Gromme’s reputation as a painter of wildlife enabled him to bring attention and action to important conservation issues such as legislation to protect birds, the protection of the Horicon Marsh, and the formation of the International Crane Foundation. Gromme served as president of the Wetlands for Wildlife organization and was among the first to crusade against the use of chemicals.

Owen J. Gromme passed away in 1991 at the age of 95.
