Introducing: Derk Hansen

Introducing: Derk Hansen

Artist Derk Hansen has managed to stay elusive to the public and the mainstream art world. A cattle drive, working young horses in the round pen or hanging out with his cowboy friends playing his guitar, is more his style. Hansen is an adventurer and a dreamer, always off on some new adventure, looking for subjects and places to paint. He shares his experiences with us through his artwork, so vividly, that we feel that we are there too. He has received numerous awards and recognitions for his work as an artist and a humanitarian, but Hansen will say “Those are only things you set on a shelf or decorate your walls with. What counts is that people like your work and it will give them a good feeling looking at what you created as an artist. That, my friend, is the greatest reward any man can get.”
