Collection: Jason Scull

Jason Scull 

Jason Scull grew up on a family farm and ranch on the fringes of the South Texas brush country. His ancestors were early Texas settlers, arriving in the mid-1820s, who ranched, raised families, fought in wars, and carved a place in the history of the American West. Across nearly forty years of artistic practice, Scull’s early experiences and heritage have profoundly shaped, guided, and inspired his sculpture.

A life immersed in cattle and horses, combined with a deep respect for Western culture, fostered his early interest in Western Art and defined the trajectory of his work. He earned a degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M before returning to the family ranch, where he remained active in operations until 2010. Scull began his formal study of sculpture in 1987 through the Cowboy Artists of America Museum workshop program, and further honed his skills through personal study with established artists, notably Jack Swanson, Mehl Lawson, and Cynthia Rigden. He was a member of the Cowboy Artists of America from 2011 to 2022.

Scull’s work has appeared in Western Horseman, Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, and Western Art and Architecture. His art is also featured in The Sons of Charlie Russell: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Cowboy Artists of America by Byron Price, and Artists of the Horse: Capturing the Spirit of America’s West by Heidi Brady and Scott White (Texas Tech Press, 2025).

An award-winning artist, Scull most recently received the Directors Award for Sculpture at the 42nd Roundup at the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas, and the Jim Bowie Award for Sculpture at the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s 2023 Night of Artists in San Antonio, Texas. His two-person exhibition A South Texas Aesthetic, alongside landscape painter Noe Perez, was presented at the Museum of Western Art, Kerrville, Texas, from November 2024 to January 2025.

Jason Scull and his wife, Dianne, reside in the Texas Hill Country near Kerrville, Texas.
