Being self-taught, Dave has enjoyed a sense of pioneering in the world of art
his pioneering spirit is also evident in his chosen lifestyle. Dave, his wife,
Pat, and their daughter, Jessica, live on an isolated acreage near Turtle Lake,
Saskatchewan. It was there, in 1979, that he launched his career as a full time
artist.
Since then, Dave has had the honour of being featured in
television programming, newspapers, magazines and many well-known galleries.
Dave's reputation as a wildlife artist has also earned commissions by groups
such as Saskatchewan Parks and Renewable Resources. Dave’s popularity was
marked by an introductory solo exhibition in 1983 when all of the 30 original
works of art were sold prior to the end of the showing.
Heavily commissioned, both privately and corporately, throughout
his career, Dave has steadily gained recognition as a Saskatchewan wildlife
artist. From D.U. Saskatchewan Waterfowl Artist of the Year in 1983 to painting
for Prince Phillip's Royal Dinner and Auction in 1987, Dave Hiebert is indeed
being recognized by more and more as a Canadian wildlife artist.
