Meet the 2024 Washington State Duck Stamp Competition Winner and Washington Waterfowl Association's Artist of the Year:

Margi Amstrup

Artist Margi Amstrup of Vashon Island, WA, has had a deep interest in the arts since childhood. After receiving her first award in the 7th grade, followed by more in high school, Margi eventually studied business and fine arts in college. She has produced works across various media, including acrylic, pen & ink, watercolor, and oils. She moves between different genres, but her forte emerges in wildlife, landscapes, and commissioned portraits. Vashon, her hometown, has a vibrant artist community and provides natural beauty that inspires her.

In addition to showcasing her latest collection in a solo show, Margi participates in annual shows hosted by Vashon Allied Arts. Margi has donated her pieces to art auctions supporting K-12 education, The Vashon Sportsman Club, and the Vashon Allied Arts class programs.

As an outdoor enthusiast, Margi enjoys the hunting and fishing seasons with her husband, Andy. She appreciates the programs that foster beneficial wildlife and land stewardship, like Ducks Unlimited and State and Federal Duck Stamp programs.

Margi was honored to be selected as the 2024 Washington State Duck Stamp commissioned artist.
