Nina

I did this print recently to celebrate my grandmother Nina who turns 90 this summer. This is the picture I used in the piece. It’s a picture of her riding a bike for the first time. She told me a boy took her on a date to go for her first bike ride and they ended up going 21 miles.

It’s interesting how I’m starting to notice the artists that influence my style. I have become a big fan of Robert Rauschenberg and I see his Neo- Dada and pop art style in many of my works.
