Janel Hawkins, local sculptor and entrepreneur, is raising the bar for sand castles. As an artist living her dream, Janel's love of the Gulf Coast shows through her art. The awe inducing sand sculptures redefine what is possible in this unique, and yet temporary medium. Her creations dot our beaches, bringing joy to those lucky enough to stumble upon them before they disappear forever.
But Janel doesn't keep all this sand-sculpting magic to herself. Through Sand Castle University classes, she and her team spreads the knowledge and passion to all ages and skill levels. If you're seeking a captivating custom sculpture or a group activity, Sand Castle University makes the impossible possible, all with the power of... sand!
