The Andrews Gallery of Wildlife Art

Shooting a piercing gaze over his shoulder, a hawk searches for prey—the fight for survival takes arresting form as a red-tailed hawk stands poised to strike a ring-necked pheasant. Arrayed in striking hues of azure and crimson, a bluebird seems ready to take flight.

Each one of these images and many others are presented in stunning detail at the Andrews Gallery of Wildlife Art, located at the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History, representing a multitude of birds and other creatures from across the globe. Changing twice a year, the exhibit at the Gallery consists of a selection of 60 to 70 works from the more than 700 artworks that make up the Andrews Collection of Wildlife Art.

Andy and Sandy Andrews, longtime Jackson residents and lifetime connoisseurs of fine art, amassed this remarkable collection of wildlife art over their 40 years of collecting. In 2006, the couple bestowed this collection on the Museum, thus creating the Andrews Gallery of Wildlife Art.

From wood carvings to paintings to sculptures in bronze, the many media represented in this collection are united in their realistic portrayal of wildlife and their ability to capture the imagination.
