About the Juror
Ann Hawkins pursued her passion for graphic design at Carnegie Mellon University, where she received guidance from influential mentors like Arnold Bank, Hermann Zapf and Jack Stauffacher, refining her skills in calligraphy, letter design, and printing techniques. While raising her two children, Ann's dedication to design never wavered. She deepened her expertise in calligraphy through classes with Sheila Waters and participation in workshops organized by the Washington Calligraphers Guild. A turning point in Ann's career came when she studied under John Benson, whose endorsement opened doors to prestigious opportunities, including a commission at the National Gallery of Art. Her first project, carving Benson's layout for the Patron’s Inscription, marked the beginning of a three-decade journey shaping spaces like the Supreme Court, Library of Congress and National Cathedral with her distinctive lettering. Ann's portfolio spans a breadth of projects, from memorial designs like the Japanese American and Korean Memorials to custom gravestones, showcasing her versatility and enduring commitment to her craft.
