SUPERWAXX is an American artist whose work combines the aesthetic influence of animation, street art and fine art. Cultivating her passion for art at an early age, she studied her favorite Saturday morning cartoons, alongside comics and graffiti magazines, anime films, and the works of fine art icons. Using fine line painting techniques and imaginative character designs, SUPERWAXX is best known for her signature eye-catching expressive style. She works across media, creating paintings and murals, as well as unique product collaborations that cull from a bank of childhood and contemporary art influences. During her creative process she often explores narratives relating to topics with global historical, social, and cultural subjects, which yields thought-provoking graphic work. She has exhibited internationally, with shows in Boston, New York, Miami, Cuba, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Washington, DC. Some her most notable collaborations include a cross-city installation of the ! AM SUPER campaign with the Hirshhorn Museum, exhibiting work with the Smithsonian Museum, executing a large work for the United States of Women Summit, and launching a global limited-series release in collaboration with the high-end streetwear fashion brand KITH.
