Numerous subject matter pieces will be on display with the paintings.

Jerry Hancock creates breathtaking works of art with a versatile palette. He has won numerous awards and been featured in several National publications. It should come as no surprise to collectors that much of Jerry's subject matter reflects his surroundings, his ranch, Antelope Island, Jackson Hole and the Native American Pow Wow's he attends. "I enjoy the beauty of country life, there is a 'spirit' and sense of peacefulness that is seen in the nature of domestic life." He says. His latest still life works are amazing. The antique style of the subject matter provides the historic nostalgic beauty that delights your senses. Jerry collects many of the antique subject matter pieces in his paintings and will have several of them on display at the Crowley Gallery in Ogden during the First Friday Art Stroll in April.
