Pop allow us to challenge social norms in a way that is fun, bright, loud and bold. It allows me to challenge our perceptions of gender roles, women empowerment, sexuality, masculinity, passion and fun.Glass art and mosaics is a medium that embraces the colors, textures and for me, the freedom to push boundaries.I often use reflective, colored mirrored tile and glitter glass in my works, allowing them to change and dance with brilliance, as the day’s light moves throughout the room.I cut and position each piece of glass by hand and deeply feel each character coming to life. The romantic comics from the 50-70’s were filled with emotional drama and gender stereotypes.  My works are inspired by this era of graphic art, as I challenge the thoughts and issues of today.
