Rocky Hawkins explores atypical compositions, styles and palettes while remaining authentic to his artistic voice. "My approach to creativity in general, and in painting, has always been nontraditional; I never duplicate realism. I find that the mysterious and the unknown are so much more interesting not only for myself, but for the viewer as well.", Hawkins says.  

 

Set in surreal abstract landscapes with colors not true to nature, wanders appear in an imaginative dimension. They seem to be making their way beyond the borders of reality into a mystical journey. As they roam, they encounter unforeseen surroundings. 

 

 

As one of the premier painters in the American West, Rocky Hawkins work reaches beyond typical representations of the region. His interests lie in the texture of the paintings' surfaces, the relationships of the colors, and in representing what he feels about what he sees.

Hawkins was born in 1950 in Seattle, Washington, and grew up in small towns near the Cascade Mountains. He earned his degree at the Burnley School of Professional Art. Hawkins' art career began with illustration and commercial art; however, this path was unable to satisfy his creative quest for self-expression. As a result, his personal journey led him to New Mexico, and ultimately to Montana, where he connected more closely with the spirit of the Native American imagery that dominates his art.
