Christina
Hawkes
Christina
was born in Ipswich, Australia into a creative family. Her
mother instilled the love of drawing from an early age.
After completing one year of a BA in Animation, she deferred
to concentrate on highly detailed, Surrealistic work.
‘Groovy Gravy’, an independent comic, fostered
her first attempt at drawing comics. The exposure led
to exhibitions and commissioned work in portraits, tattoo
design and illustration.
Moved to London in 1999. Commissions, freelance and volunteer
work include theatre set painting and construction, storyboards,
comic panels, logos, caricatures, album covers and portraits.
Her exhibition in Covent Garden led to painting in the Lyceum
Theatre’s Puppetry Department for ‘The Lion King’,
and to the commission, ‘Celtic Deities’.
Apart from obsessive painting, Christina is also a drummer
and singer.
