Christine Clayton is the winner of the 2015 Ohio Duck Stamp art competition that was held a few days ago. Her accomplishment is noteworthy because she is the first female winner Ohio has had since the program began in 1982. She is also the youngest artist (20) to win the Ohio stamp competition.

Thanks for your comment. You might want to correct the Ohio Division of Wildlife, since it put out the statement.
Ms. Clayton is NOT the first woman to produce the artwork for an Ohio waterfowl stamp. That honor would go to Cynthie Fisher who did the 1988 stamp of a common goldeneye.
