This endearing decoy is the perfect addition to any collection.
Sam Nottleman was born along the banks of the Mississippi River in Southeastern Minnesota. Fascinated by the annual migrations of waterfowl and songbirds along the Mississippi corridor Sam expressed his love of the birds through his skills as an artist. From drawing and pottery to wood carving his art reflected the deep respect he continues to have today for the beauty and conservation of our natural resources. Graduating from Winona State University in 1972 with a BA in Art it was not long before Sam's passion for the birds made its presence known and he began carving as a way to unwind after an exhausting musical performance on stage. It was during this period of time Sam's carving skills really developed. From his personal observations and an extensive collection of mounted birds as a reference his carvings became ever more detailed and unique. Now known throughout the country for his anatomically correct positions and lifelike details he continues to push the carving envelope with new lifelike sculptures in fascinating poses. With his studio on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River he carves fulltime and promises even more unique and interesting sculptures to come.
