Sarah Hawkins is an experimental animator and visual artist from Virginia. She received her BFA in Kinetic Imaging from VCUArts in May 2022, and is currently working on her MFA in Experimental Animation at CalArts. Sarah fully believes in the healing nature of art and its ability to connect one to the self. While using art as a means of self expression and a therapeutic tool for herself, she also wants to continue to teach others and advocate for underrepresented individuals to explore the self and heal through an artistic practice.
