Phil Hawkins

I'm a multidisciplinary contemporary artist currently living and working in downtown Los Angeles.

Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I relocated to LA in 2017 to expand my practice. Art has always been my lifelong pursuit and foundational anchor. While my work is deeply rooted in the city, my personal travels abroad and specifically to Sweden greatly expanded my horizons, sparking a powerful resonance with the region’s unique visual culture.

My former studio was located in Omaha from 2009 to 2017, in the abandoned vault of the historic First National Bank headquarters, built in 1917.

My work has also been published in periodicals including Millennium Magazine (a Marquis Who's Who publication), VoyageLA, The Reader, Vogue Spain, the Omaha World-Herald, Fox 42 News channel and won several OOEA awards including 2017 Best 3-D artist, Best solo exhibition, and best group show in Omaha, Nebraska. In 2018 the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued me a patent for my jewelry design.
