For Jude, life is complete - as he is happily married to the other creative half of Renzi & Hawkens Studio. And although Gina and Jude love to travel anywhere and everywhere for work… their favorite spot, besides a little known private beach on Martha’s Vineyard, is NYC’s famed Caffe Palermo - where they love to surround themselves with too many homemade cannolis after a hard day's night. life is full of moments… a poetry of movement. a purposeful eye captures their sensitively and quiets their beauty and uniqueness to find in each one… the glorious, evident reminder of compassion, of love… and of life. - Jude Hawkens |
