Joseph Hautman (1956- )
Acrylic painting of a spectacled eider flying over an Arctic seascape by Joseph (Joe) Hautman. Hautman's design was one of 585 entered in the 1991 Federal Duck Stamp Contest. He studied art and physics at the University of Minnesota where he received a degree in physics. He later received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Michigan. His published work has contributed to the understanding of a broad range of phenomenon -- from the shapes of water droplets and snow flakes to the miscroscopic structures of soap bubbles and cell membranes.
