About the Artist

Dick Hancock was born in Tacoma, Washington. He lives with his wife, Gloria near the rural town of Sequim. It is nestled in the rain shadow of the beautiful Olympic Mountains. He is the father of six children, grandpa to six, and great papa to 8 babies.


Quote from artist Greg Beecham, “As a fellow artist, I can see in Dicks work, the intimate knowledge and relationship with his subject matter, as well as compositional skill and technical mastery of his medium”


Since 1986, Dick has worked as a wildlife photographer. His work has been published by outdoor magazine, the quarterly journal of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Alaska Airline Magazine, Bowhunter Magazine, Chase Magazine, Boone and Crockett’s Quarterly Magazine, and Right of Way Vistas.


His work has also been featured in calendars, brochures, books and book covers, and many various publications.


Some organizations featuring his works include the US Forest Service, Mt. Baker- Snoqualmie National Forest; US Dept. of the Interior: Washington State Parks Dept.; Wash. State Fish and Game; Colorado Division of Wildlife; Idaho Dept. of Wildlife; Northwest Interpretive Assoc.;


Puget Sound Eyes-On-Wildlife; Boise Cascade; and Weyerhaueser Corp., and lastly, the Oregon Eagle Foundation.


An audience of 20 million people have viewed Dick’s photography on NBC Nightly News, with Tom Brokaw, in a piece about human survivors of wild animal attacks.


“Tension At The Top”, one of Dick’s most famous photos, hangs in the home of retired US Army General Norman Schwartzkopf. Dick’s prints, framed, have sold for more than $9,500.00


The images are breathtaking and are now available in metal as well as giclee on canvas. These photos will make an impact in your home or office!
