The Jack Dennis Gallery is the premier wildlife art gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. It was established by Jack Dennis who runs a successful fly-fishing guide business and store. Dennis himself is an expert fly-fisherman, and he has found fame through numerous fishing shows and presents the series 'Fly Fish'. Over winter Dennis embarks on a lecture tour where visiting fishing clubs and civic groups across the U.S and beyond.
The Jack Dennis Gallery features over forty of the nation's most famous wildlife artists that use a range of media including sculpture, photography, etching, oil and pastels. There are ten sculpture and dimensional artists presently featured by the gallery. These include John Emery's work using paper to create three-dimensional works based on his own fly-fishing interests, and Meredith Campbell who started her artistic career illustrating journals, and magazines. After a move to Jackson she began painting wildlife and she now specializes in painting wildlife on natural hardwood bowls.
There are over 25 artists that use oil, pastel and watercolor as their medium of choice. These include Dan Downing's works in oil of wild animals and horses in brilliant colors. Lynn Simonson's plein-air paintings featuring inspiration from the Colorado Mountains, and in contrast, Carol Lee, an artist classically trained in the methods of the Old Masters. She uses authentic pigments and fine Belgian linen to paint her still life pieces. The photographic works exhibited include Greg Albracht's black and white compositions, and Deidre Sherman's dreamy landscapes. Kim Mills, a self-taught photographer, gets her inspiration from western landscapes, and uses polaroids to give a faded feeling to her pieces.
