Artist: W. Allan Hancock

W. Allan Hancock has had a fascination with the natural world from his childhood day.  He spent most of his youth in Saskatchewan where abandoned homestead and the remnants of human heritage also began to leave a lasting impression.

Allan’s artwork has been selected for numerous fund-raising projects for wildlife and habitat conservation purposes. In 1996, he became the youngest artist ever selected as Ducks Unlimited Canada’s Artist of the Year and was honoured with the Waterfowl Art Award.

Today, Allan resides on Salt Spring island with his wife and children and his paintings can be found in collections throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia.
