Kimberly Ann Hawes is a visual artist, writer, and the mind behind 99 Issues But… — a growing body of work built for people who are tired of pretending the damn issue is anything other than the truth standing in front of them.
Her work moves through visual art, literary projects, sharp personal essays, and unapologetic storytelling. As an artist, Kimberly’s work has been recognized through exhibitions, public placements, and creative opportunities that expanded from Pittsburgh into national and international spaces. Her visual language carries grit, elegance, emotional weight, and a little side-eye because pretty without substance is just decoration.
Beyond the art, Kimberly is the creator of the Unfuckable series, Send the Fuck Out, and other literary works that speak to boundaries, self-worth, identity, emotional discipline, reinvention, and standing the hell up when life has already tried to sit you down.
99 Issues But… is where the writing gets clipped, sharpened, and served without the fake soft landing. These are not perfect little motivational notes. They are reflections, reality checks, personal growth pieces, and dark psychology side-eyes written for readers who are ready to stop negotiating with the same patterns.
Kimberly Ann Hawes writes from lived experience, creative instinct, and the understanding that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop explaining yourself and start becoming impossible to mishandle.
