2026 DAPFD Art Contest!

Congratulations to our 2026 Field Days Art Contest winner: Lotta Hauswaldt!

Lotta Hauswaldt is an artist who primarily creates linolcuts. She has worked on different farms throughout Canada, Germany and the US, after graduating from Eberswalde University of Sustainable Development, Germany. Her art is inspired by the daily farm work, her passion for draft animals and glimpses of other cultures.

Congratulations to Lotta, and a huge thank you to everyone who participated and shared their creativity with us. We were amazed by the talent and passion shown in every submission,
