Artist and Designer
Phil Hawn, has been making art for more than 30 years.
A graduate of the Art Institute of Atlanta (AA), Berea College (BA in Ecological Design), and Appalachian State University (MS in Appropriate Tech Education), he splits his time between family, work, art, and volunteering. His career in the arts has been spent working in offset printing, screen printing, television, ad agencies, and as an artist for hire. In his studio he works on sculpture, painting, illustration, and graphic design. He enjoys teaching art to youth and adults.
When sculpting Phil works in abstract, using stone, wood, plaster, found and recycled objects, or whatever he has at hand. The forms take shape out of images in his mind and find representation through tactile interpretation of what his hands find interesting to touch. When painting his interests lie in the abstraction of nature in close-up, or like his sculpture, the images that form in his mind.
Glen-Scott Gallery in Blowing Rock, NC and Minetta Lane Center for Arts and Peace in Hickory, NC currently display his work.
