Working primarily on paper at a large scale, Hixon uses mixed media, often watercolor in the forefront, to construct figurative scenes that oscillate between control and collapse, intimacy and estrangement.

Her compositions unfold within her ambiguous environments, where distortion becomes a language for truth rather than spectacle.

Through this lens, her paintings reflect on vulnerability, self-perception, and the quiet negotiations that accompany one self.

Originally trained in performance, Hixon began her creative life in theatre and film in Chicago before turning toward visual art where she later established her studio practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Hixon’s work has entered private collections throughout the United States and internationally. She was featured in Vogue in 2023 as an artist to watch on Canyon Road.
