Randy McGovern is one of the most beloved fish artists in the nation. Randy is known for detailed precision and a dramatic use of light with rich color. In addition to producing fish art prints that are highly prized and collectable, Randy also offers prints of dogs, cats, ducks, deer, turkey, bear, moose and many other subjects. To see all his wildlife prints, visit www.mcgovernwildlife.com. In most of his over 150 wildlife art prints and some of his fish prints, Randy hides small camouflaged animals, tastefully hidden in his backgrounds. As wildlife art prints, they make great conversation pieces."I love what I do. I always count fins and scales while painting a fish. The perfectionist in me sleeps a little better even if a little extra accuracy goes unnoticed." - Master fish artist Randy McGovern.
Randy currently has 22 freshwater fish prints and 21 saltwater fish prints now available for sale in various sizes. Over a dozen of his limited edition fish art prints have sold out and become highly sought after by collectors on the secondary market. While Randy offers a variety of sporting fish prints from bluegill to tarpon, most of his freshwater fish prints portray bass; while most of his saltwater fish prints feature Redfish and Speckled Trout.
Research has always been fun for Randy. Growing up in New Orleans, he had easy access to Gulf Coast saltwater fishing as well as the ponds and bayous of Louisiana for great freshwater fishing.
Randy's greatest achievement as a fish artist was winning the open national art contest to design the 1992-93 "First of State" South Carolina Saltwater Fishing Stamp and Print. This $5.50 conservation stamp was the first EVER required to fish in the Atlantic Ocean! While controversial, the program started by Randy's image of a Redfish/Spot-tail Bass (Red Drum), has been very successful. So far, it has generated over $6 million for marine conservation projects like artificial reefs, restocking and free tag & release kits.
Randy's fish art prints and wildlife art prints may be purchased both unframed and framed to match your home or office decor. All his prints are shipped flat, in a timely manner and are guaranteed to arrive in safe condition. Happy fishing!
