JERRY HAUCK
Sculptor and Furniture Artist
Born and raised in South Dakota, the youngest of twelve children, Jerry Hauck holds a BA in History/English and an MA in Ancient and Renaissance History from the University of South Dakota. But it was his love of the arts that ultimately influenced his personal and career choices.
His entrepreneurial spirit guided a foray into four distinct careers…antiques dealer, wood artist (designing and constructing free form organic furniture), art gallery owner and, finally, as the creator of one of the first craft beer bar/breweries in the Midwest.
After several years of artistic hiatus, other than penning hundreds of poems, Hauck sold his bar-brewery and moved to Arizona permanently. There, he met fused glass artist Anne Nye and together they began intermingling their artistic specialties into what they are calling freeform, organic sculpture.
Each piece begins with trips to the desert or local sawmills. Jerry works the wood to bring out its natural beauty which requires hours of sanding and painstaking finishing. Sculptures are often enhance by collaborative additions of glass and/or metal.
