The River Art of Ahmad Nadalian
According to a tradition in the north of Iran images of fish or snakes can be a sign of treasure. By carving simple fish shapes and other forms onto small stones and river rocks, artist Ahmad Nadalian seeks to repopulate the spirit of neglected streams and rivers in his native Iran and around the world and share these treasures with future generations.

David A. Footer - Wilderness and Wildlife Artist
David Footer is a Lewiston Maine artist whose work spans multiple disciplines. A licensed taxidermist at the age of 15, Footer was inspired by the work of Herb Welch who was known as the premier taxidermist of his era.
As a guide on the on the famous Broadback River in Northern Quebec for an amazing 26 seasons, Footer spent thousands of hours watching the movements of fish. That experience is reflected through his paintings, wood fish carvings, prints, fish mountings, and other works of art.
He is also the creator of the Footer Special, a tandem trolling streamer that has caught some of the largest brookies in Quebec.
