D Hixon

I am a driven, passionate creative who loves collaborating with others and participating in community events. I have a 3.8 GPA and was awarded the Marsha Hallet grant fall semester of 2023. I gave a persuasive speech to the president of my college and the board of trustees in November of 2023 on a petition to restructure the school's lawns to be less environmentally wasteful. Spring of 2024 I founded The Naturalists club at my school. I have shot multiple short films and put on live events, I work in both 2D and 3D proficiently and strive to find compelling conveyances for my values through art.

• Awarded the Marsha Hallet Grant Fall of 2023
• Selected for my public speaking ability to represent my peers and present the Lawn change petition to the President of College of Marin and Board of Trustees

Organized 2 debut events for my album in collaboration with a local business. August 2022

• Each event had an attendance of about 60 people
• Brought in around 1,000 dollars which was used to pay for the cost of production of the events.
• Worked with/directed 15 people to transform the space into a unique environment,
• Made masks for those who ushered for the event. They were dressed in golden fish masks and black tie attire.
• I used industrial farm plastic to cover the walls and floor of the business making it an alien space.
• In partnership with one of my peers I also edited a 45 minute long video that went along with the album. The video used repurposed and highly edited public domain films and commercials and was projected in several places in the business to ensure everyone could see.

Made and sold 30 shirts at said events which featured the “Fish Headed Businessmen Block Print” that I have in my portfolio. 

• Worked in collaboration with a local artist to produce these shirts.

I vended at a local community pop up event for artists. July 2023

• Helped with planning
• Sold all of my silicone art

Played several live shows at local venues including the Phoenix theater in Petaluma. Summer 2023
