Connie Tveten (born 1945) lived and worked in Montana and is known for her realistic paintings and carvings of waterfowl, game birds, and related subjects. Tveten lives in rural Northeastern Montana, which allowed her to study birds in their natural habitat. Tveten’s bird portraits are influenced by her firsthand field observation, allowing her to capture not just accurate anatomy, but the unique posture and personality of each bird. Connie Tvete’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including the Ducks Unlimited National Art Show in Kansas City, MO; the Waterfowl Festival in Easton, MD; the Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show in Tacoma, WA; the C.M. Russell Art Show and Auction in Great Falls, MT; and at the Governor’s Residence in Helena, MT.
