Randy McGovern, Fine Dog Artist

Randy McGovern

  Randy McGovern grew up in New Orleans,  One day his forth grade teacher, Sr. Helene saw him draw a hose and buggy and then advised his parents to give him art lessons.  Every Thursday Randy would get on a bus and ride across the city to this art lesson.  That year, 1964, Randy won a city-wide art contest and the grand prize of $5 which proved to be a good enough incentive to continue.  He studied first under a European portraitist from Sicily, Mrs. Donatella Kypers and later more closely under Mrs. R. T. Perkins also a master portraitist.  Meanwhile, Randy's other hobby was snake hunting in the swamps and marches of Louisiana and selling them to the snake farm in LaPlace, Louisiana.  Still, another hobby was that of trapping animals in humane animal traps that he invented for sketching purposes. 


R. McGovern

At age 21, he graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, magna cum laude with a B.A. in advertising but in 1983 launched a career in fine art instead.  Randy has earned acclaim from sportsmen and collectors alike both nationally and internationally.  By taking the demanding accuracy of the wildlife painter and combing it with the discriminating talent of a trained and gifted artist, he has become one of the nation's most beloved realists in just a few years.

Style:  Working in a precise realistic style in oils, Randy feels compelled to portray animals in their most noble character which requires adding a dimension beyond merely duplicating photos of animals in sometimes awkward compositions.

Hidden Creatures:  Randy McGovern is best known for his habit of hiding a number of creatures in each of his paintings.  Collectors often express their pleasure of owning not only a beautiful picture but also a genuine conversation piece in finding the animals that are tastefully hidden in Randy's backgrounds.

Awards and Honors:  Artist of the year and first Annual Duck Stamp Print, Louisiana Wildfowl Carvers & Collectors Guild, 1983; Louisiana Ducks Unlimited Artist of the Year, 1984; First Issue Louisiana Waterfowl Conservation Stamp & Print for Waterfowl Art Competition, Montgomery, AL; 1987 Feature story on nationally televised 700 Club; First Place for Timer Wolves, Eastland Wildlife Show, Charlotte, NC 1990; First Place, First of State, South Carolina, Saltwater Fish Stamp, 1992; 1997 National Quail Unlimited Artist of the Year.
