JERROD HAMMOND:
Metal Sculptor, Painter, Wood Carver, & More
BIO
Jerrod Hammond is a local artist, born and raised in Mt. Vernon.
Metal and wood designs are his preferred media but he also enjoys oil
painting, charcoals and jewelry creation. Jerrod believes that every art
form should be experienced at least once.
He views every antler, piece of wood, sheet of metal, and any
other scrap as art that needs to come to life. Someone once said that an
anvil could not be created from a railroad track, but Jerrod decided otherwise.
The large anvil on display came from a portion of track removed behind
Ronny and Sue Barker’s house on the Broken M Ranch in Franklin County,
following the trestle wreck in 2012. The small anvil was made from a
piece of railroad track recovered from an abandoned silver mine outside Silver
Plume, Colorado and given to Jerrod by Cole Barker.
Knives became a passion a few years ago. Jerrod designed
some with red deer antler horn handles and others were fashioned from railroad
spikes.
Jerrod and his wife, Brandi, reside in Mt. Vernon with their two
children, Jerrilyn and Jessy. He works for the family owned business, JH3
Construction, and is well known around Lake Cypress and Lake Bob Sandlin for
his custom cabinetry and barn style doors that can be seen in many of the
boathouses.
