Description
Born on a farm near Hennessey, Oklahoma during the Great Depression, Gary Hawk moved with his family to a farm near Iola, Kansas in 1939, and still makes his home in Iola. After studying art at Kansas State University and the Kansas City Art Institute, Gary worked as a designer for two major greeting card companies before deciding to devote all of his time to art in 1976. Named governor's Artist for the State of Kansas in 1977, his creations are in the private collections of prominent political and religious leaders, actors, even astronauts and presidents. Gary Hawk paintings have also widely adorned magazines, trade journal and telephone directories, and he has appeared on television and in-person before numerous groups, schools and associations. Treasured by those who possess them, Gary Hawk's renderings communicate in an unforgettable way with everyone who understands and appreciates the magic of the outdoor experience.
