The natural world is beautiful, breath-taking, awe-inspiring, yet fragile. Its beauty is the subject of W. Allan Hancock's artwork - its fragile state, the underlying theme. Whether it is a hawk on the short grass prairie, waterfowl in a marsh, or an eagle on North America's west coast, the daily struggle for survival of wildlife species and habitats is portrayed in Hancock's paintings with lifelike detail. Each painting captures a moment in time causing the viewer to ponder its subject's future, both momentary and distant, often questioning the role of mankind.
Allan's paintings can be found in collections throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. As interest in his work continues to grow, Allan hopes that mankind's appreciation of the natural world will also grow.
