Juror - George Hallmark of Meridian, TX

Born and raised in north-central Texas, George Hallmark was an architectural designer and commercial artist before turning to easel painting. Voted the official Texas State Artist in 1988, his work can be found in many prestigious private and corporate collections, including those of Texas Instruments, the Medical Heritage Collection, the Texas Capital, MBNA, and the Capitol in Washington, D.C. He is an honorary lifetime member of the New Mexico Military Institute Alumni Association.

Hallmark's work has been featured in Art of the West and Southwest Art magazines. This marks the third year George will participate in the Prix de West Exhibition and Sale at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and the seventh year Hallmark has participated in the Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale at the Autry National Center.

Hallmark has come full circle to his roots, architecture. His love of the subject is obvious in the delineation of stucco walls, tile roofs, and long shadows in his unique painterly style. He is currently completing new work from recent trips to Mexico, France, Spain, and Italy.

Hallmark's originals are represented exclusively by Trailside Galleries, Jackson, Wyoming, and Scottsdale, Arizona. His work is reproduced by Somerset Publishing in Houston, Texas.

George and his wife Lisa maintain a picturesque home and studio overlooking the Bosque River Valley in Meridian, Bosque County Texas.
