Jack Hammack, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hammack is self-taught and draws inspiration from a lifetime spent close to nature in the various places his military family moved through the years. \u201cWe lived in the mountains of Nevada which were high desert dotted with sagebrush, and very fragrant,\u201d he says. \u201cWe also lived in Spokane, WA, before Dad finally retired in 1969, when we moved to northwest Arkansas on 100 acres outside of Eureka Springs which is a beautiful small town nestled in the Ozark Mountains.\u201d It was a time, Hammack says, when hippies were moving to the area, many of them artists who were setting up shop on the sidewalks and in small studios. \u201cTo this day, their creative energy has influenced me, as well as the gorgeous mountains of that region,\u201d he says. There, he hiked, fished and swam in Beaver Lake, skipping school when the bass were running in the White River.<\/p>\n<p>He attended the University of Arkansas, then moved to Tulsa, OK, and began working for the airline industry. His career would take him to Dallas, TX, where he lived for 30 years before retiring and moving to Black Mountain in 2019. \u201cI fell in love with Asheville and WNC the very first moment I saw these mountains way on back,\u201d he says. \u201cThese mountains are special and, I believe, hold ancient wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56320\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56320\" class=\"wp-image-56320\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist-292x300.jpg 292w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist-997x1024.jpg 997w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist-768x789.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist-810x832.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cover-Artist_-Jack-Hammack-The-Loyal-Guaradians.-Jack-Hammack-artist-1140x1171.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Loyal Guardians. Jack Hammack, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since moving to WNC, he says, the natural world has had a calming effect as well as inspiring him creatively. \u201cDistanced from the chaotic busy world of cities and airports, I can now focus on the native fauna as subjects,\u201d he says. The roadrunners he painted in the past now share space on the canvas with woodpeckers. \u201cLarge canvases make room for bear, deer and elk,\u201d Hammack says. \u201cNot as they actually appear, but as I interpret them. I especially concentrate on the eyes as they are portals of their life force and innocence. The eyes invite the viewer to reconnect with the natural world that we originate from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hammack had just returned from a trip to Australia, with hikes in Tasmania and the Blue Mountains, when COVID began impacting the US. \u201cI went into my new studio and painted and painted and painted,\u201d he says, \u201cas if that time unleashed and opened the door to be more still and creative.

It has been an absolute delight to represent his work and watch customers light up when they dive deep into the multi-layers of his process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hammack paints on wood panels and uses mixed media, oil, latex, crayon, pencil, metal paint and house paint. \u201cI scratch, scrape, use a brush or stick, and pour on the wood panels, resulting in a texture that brings much interest to the painting,\u201d he says. \u201cMy work is modern and na\u00efve at the same time. Animals and birds visit me almost every day and throughout the day when I paint, and I have a beautiful view of the Great Craggy Mountains from my studio and backyard, inspiring my painting and giving me volumes of inspiration for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Jackson Hammack Art is located at Ravenscroft Studio in Black Mountain.
