Pop Art’s enduring vitality lies in its embrace of modernity and its celebration of the visual language of everyday life. Its reintroduction of recognizable imagery—drawn from mass media, advertising, and popular culture—marked a decisive shift in the trajectory of modernism, moving away from the traditional “high art” preoccupations of morality, mythology, and classical history. Instead, Pop Art foregrounds the familiar, the accessible, and the immediate.

​

Often characterized as popular, transient, mass-produced, and commercially inflected, Pop Art occupies a unique space where wit, glamour, and cultural commentary intersect. Its sensibility is at once playful and incisive—simultaneously reflective of and complicit in the visual economy it draws from. Inspired by these qualities, I pursued my BFA at the University of Arizona with the intention of engaging this lineage: to celebrate commonplace objects and figures, and to contribute, in my own way, to the elevation of popular culture within the realm of fine art.

​

There is an undeniable immediacy to Pop Art that distinguishes it from other movements. In contrast to the often somber narratives of historical painting or the introspective weight of much contemporary work, Pop Art offers a sense of visual clarity and levity. It is direct, approachable, and frequently infused with humor—inviting viewers to engage without the burden of deciphering obscured meaning.

​

My work draws heavily from the visual saturation of contemporary life—newspapers, magazines, and billboards—where fleeting moments are captured through dynamic contrasts of light and shadow. Photography serves as a foundational reference point, offering a sense of timelessness that I translate into painting and illustration. Within this process, I explore repetition as a formal device, using it to suggest movement, rhythm, and continuity. This repetition underscores the vibrancy of color, contrast, and structure, ultimately fostering a sense of cohesion and visual harmony.

​

Technically, my paintings often combine acrylic with applications of oil and pastel, and at times incorporate collage elements when appropriate. My illustrations lean toward an industrial aesthetic, utilizing ink and charcoal, occasionally augmented with acrylic to deepen tonal complexity and texture.

​

Through this practice, I aim to synthesize the immediacy of popular imagery with the formal concerns of fine art—continuing a dialogue that positions the ordinary as both subject and spectacle.

MURAL PRICING

​

Whether you're wanting a mural for a home or a business, creating your mural is an incredible opportunity to help bring your vision to life.  Mural pricing is determined by the following:

​

• Square footage and interior/exterior location

• Cost of paint and materials

• Intricacy of the designs

• Pre-design work

 

The average cost for most murals range from $10-$40 per square foot with a minimum of $1000. Mural pricing includes all materials needed, but additional fees may apply if large equipment is needed. Pricing varies depending on many factors including surface material, design time, travel fees and working conditions.  Here is wow to measure your square footage- measure the length and height of your wall then multiply both numbers. That number is your square footage. Multiply your square footage by the cost per square foot.  A standard 1/2 deposit is required to start the mural commission and it is nonrefundable.  I can cater to most budgets so give me a call to discuss your project in more detail. 520.870.4301

​

All design fees are included in the final budget cost and if you're only wanting design schematics my rate is $30/hr - all with unlimited edits!    We will discuss the mural project, your budget and design ideas so I can give you a better idea of the cost and schedule. It’s always extremely helpful if you can shown me some design ideas, inspiration and/or rough sketches so I can better understand your vision.
