About

Kathleen Hawkes (b. 1983) is a visual artist whose practice interweaves photographic processes, drawing, digital constructions, and installation. Through her artworks she explores ideas of slow erosion, subtle shifts in equilibrium, loss, and an ever-changing sense of belonging. Hawkes earned her BFA from Cornell University and her MFA from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. In 2012, she was granted a Fulbright fellowship to travel to the South Pacific, where she lived as a child, to photograph domestic spaces. Hawkes is a Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse.
