Donald \"Don\" Featherstone (January 25, 1936 – June 22, 2015) was an American artist most widely known for his 1957 creation of the plastic pink flamingo while working for Union Products.[2] Featherstone resided in Fitchburg, Massachusetts,[3] where he kept 57 plastic flamingos on his front lawn.[4] Featherstone and his wife Nancy dressed alike for over 35 years.[3]

Featherstone was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1936[5] and grew up in nearby Berlin. After graduating from the Worcester Art Museum\'s art school, in 1957, he was offered a job designing three-dimensional animals for Union Products, Inc.[3] Over his years at Union Products, Featherstone sculpted over 750 different items, the first of which were a girl with a water can and a boy with a dog.[3] When Featherstone was asked in 1957 to sculpt a duck, he purchased one, which he named Charlie, and later released the bird in Coggshall Park.[3] Later that year, he was asked to carve a flamingo. The now iconic pink flamingo went on sale in 1958,[3] when the color pink was popular.[6]

In 1996, Featherstone was awarded the 1996 Ig Nobel Art Prize for his creation of the pink flamingo,[1] and he also began his tenure as president of Union Products which he held until he retired in 2000.[4]

On June 22, 2015, Featherstone died from Lewy body dementia at the age of 79.
