subject matter ranges from songbirds and big game to rural scenes and in-
spirational designs. All are now available for licensing across a wide gamut
of categories including giftware, home décor, textiles, bath and more.
Victoria Schultz creates pastel and oil paintings with almost photographic
detail. Marty Segelbaum said,, “Victoria travels extensively to gather refer-
ences and photos for her paintings. The accuracy of her wildlife imagery
is proof of that.”
Ann Tristani’s inspirational paintings often reflect the values and simplicity
of days gone by. With subject matter ranging from still-lifes and floral ar-
rangements to landscapes and seascapes, Ann’s work is appropriate on a
wide array of home décor.
Already a sensation in the United Kingdom, MHS Licensing is honored to
be introducing The Adventures of Molly & Macy. The activities and adven-
tures of these children are captured with black and white photography
accented with a splash of color for impact.
Collectively, MHS Licensing’s artists generate nearly $100 million in an-
nual sales through their licensee partners. At Surtex and Licensing Shows
MHS Licensing will also be introducing new images from their successful
artists including the Hautman Brothers, Judy Buswell, Kathy Hatch, Anne

off to a great start. Wild Wings is the country’s leading publisher, distribu-
tor and licensor of nature art, representing more than forty nationally
recognized artists.
Self-published for many years, Storm is best known by sportsman across
the country for his images of waterfowl, pheasants and dogs in the field.
His image graced the 2004-05 Federal Duck Stamp and he has won nu-
merous state conservation stamp contests. His prints have raised thou-
sands of dollars at conservation fund-raising banquets across the country.
His most recent honors include Ducks Unlimited 2005 Artist of the Year,
Pheasants Forever 2006 Pheasant Fest Featured Artist and 2008 North
Carolina Duck Stamp winner.
Wild Wings Licensing reports signing over a dozen agreements with licen-
sors utilizing Storm’s artwork since bringing the artist on board in 2007.
Products include calendars, note cards, glassware, mini collector plates
and throws. Storm’s portfolio includes waterfowl, upland game, sporting
dogs, whitetail deer and other North American wildlife. With over 100
images available for license, Storm’s work has been a popular property
for Wild Wings.
The relationship has been mutually beneficial for Storm. The artist has
been able to catch up on commissioned artwork and spend more time
researching new ideas and subjects. Wild Wings expects to introduce sev-
eral new images to their growing image database in 2008. Storm is com-
missionable for licensing projects.
