Craig Hawkins

Craig Hawkins is a graduate with a B.F.A in Fine Art from Valdosta State University(2001). Drawing since the age of two, Hawkins grew up in multiple cities including Laurinburg, NC, Greer, SC, Roanoke Rapids, NC and Warner Robins, GA before attending college in Valdosta, GA where he currently lives. Hawkins describes his work as, “the evidence of taking truth and imagining it”. His background includes oil and acrylic painting and charcoal drawing. In his 2D work, Hawkins uses canvas or collage of various papers and masking tape to develop a composition of line and texture in addition to applying his media. Creating a piece that explores depths of truth, mark making, and the love of contrast becomes the foundation of his work.
