Madelynn Schabert’s lifelong love for drawing wildlife began at a young age, but her passion for waterfowl was sparked while attending college to study Natural Resources Management. Influenced by the landscapes of Northern California’s Butte Basin and her ecology professor, Rick Wittsell, her work showcases the beauty of waterfowl and the essence of the hunt. She specializes in capturing high levels of intricate detail using ink dots, a technique called “stippling”. Drawing from her background in natural resources management, wildlife conservation, and hunting, she has immersed herself in the field, spending years with her fascinating subjects.

In 2024, Madelynn decided to publish her own website and start selling her artwork. As a hunter and illustrator, her goal is to utilize her art as a way to inspire others and give back to waterfowl conservation efforts. She is passionate not only about illustrating waterfowl, but also about protecting them for the enjoyment of generations to come - which is why she donates 10% of all proceeds from her artwork to the California Waterfowl Association.
