Texas artist Jack Sorenson CA grew up living the scenes of the Wild West that he paints today. As a kid he roamed through Six Gun City, an Old West frontier town and tourist attraction that his dad built near the Palo Duro Canyon. As soon as he was old enough, daddy put him to work as a gunslinger and stagecoach driver. “How many people today can say they’ve been run over by a stagecoach?” he asks. “I have!”

Jack’s love of art is similarly deep-rooted. “At the age of six I announced to my family that I was going to be a professional artist,” he recalls. “As a boy I spent most of my free time sketching… dogs, trees, wagons, people and horses—especially horses. It’s like a preacher being called—it’s what I am supposed to do.”

After his first one-man show sold out in 1974, Jack quit his day job as a horse-breaker and began painting full-time. Today he is one of America’s most celebrated Western artists. Leanin’ Tree has licensed more than one hundred of his images for greeting cards. His work has also been featured on dozens of other products, as well as on the cover of top industry magazines such as Western Horseman, The American Quarter Horse Journal and The Cattleman. Jack credits his success as an artist in part to the fact that he is a storyteller, stating, “I believe that great paintings should tell a story and involve the viewer.”

Jack achieved a career-long goal in 2021 when he was elected to Cowboy Artists of America.
