Hawk Artwork

You can call me Hawk

Grew up in Sacramento, CA

Active in the San Francisco Bay Area

Ever since I was little, I've been an artist. Growing up and learning from my art teachers through both high school and college has honed my craft and given me a strong foundation in painting to build my ideas off of. Operating in the Nor Cal/Bay area in my formative years means that the artists I have been most influenced by fall within the Bay Area Figurative movement. Thus, my artwork most often resembles the same balance between expression, abstraction, and figuration.

After coming out as transgender, my work became focused on expressionism as a form of expression of identity and a reflection of how I see and experience the world as someone who falls outside of the cisgender norm.
