"Whether it's a story of collecting it, finding it, chasing it down in the wild, so to speak, or whether you chase it down at an auction, that's part of the fun. Each piece ends up with a story." - Tom Hendrickson, Distinguished Collector

Step inside the stunning home of Tom Hendrickson, a collector whose passion for Southern art transforms every room. His journey began when he and his wife, Jill purchased an 1833 Federal farmhouse on 160 acres in Zebulon, North Carolina -- a setting that ignited his love for collecting period antiques. Join Sporting Art Director, Robbie Smith as he tours Tom and Jill's home and discovers a collection that is as extensive as it is exquisite.

From North Carolina paintings and decoys to furniture and pottery, each piece is chosen for the story it tells and the craftsmanship it embodies. Their collection showcases extraordinary works by Ken Humphries, Minnie Evans, Claude Howell, Daniel Seagle, James Best, Francis Speight, and many more. For Tom, the joy lies in the thrill of discovery, with each acquisition telling its own unique story. Along the way, unexpected treasures, including an iconic Andy Warhol, introduce surprising and delightful twists to the collection. "We like the fact that it's intentionally eclectic," states Tom.

Every piece in the Hendrickson home is carefully chosen and thoughtfully placed, creating a seamless display that honors Southern artistry and craftsmanship. Together, they transform the space into more than a home, it becomes a living gallery, where history, imagination, and creativity come alive in every corner.
