Jerry Hancock's love of the land and animals resonates in all of his wonderful artwork. He is an excellent award winning artist able to capture the wonders of the West! So much feeling embodies his animals and the viewer feels the strength, dignity, and character of each subject. Hancock creates a story depicted in all the faces of his Bison, Cattle, Horses, Dogs & Birds. Further, he is equally adept at bringing forth a wonderful landscape which many times tells a beautiful story. A wonderful artist & friend, we are proud to represent!

In the 24th annual Sears Dixie Invitational for the first time ever the Best of Show Purchase Prize and Best in Show Prize were awarded to the same artist, Jerry Hancock. One of his paintings hangs in the state

Jerry paints mainly in oils. In addition to painting domestic subjects he also enjoys painting portraits, wildlife and still life.

"It should come as no surprise that my subject matter reflects the surroundings in which I grew up. Horses and cattle are a favorite subject. I enjoy the beauty of country life. It is visually appealing, and I enjoy the challenge of preserving its nostalgic quality. There is a spirit and sense of peacefulness in the country that i try to convey to the viewer along with my relation and feelings about the subject."

"I've always thought God's creations were incredibly beautiful. I have also derived inspiration from the work of two exceptional American artists. David Leffel and Richard Schmid"
