Maura Vazakas' work plays with nostalgia, pop, and humor combining the past and present to create a contemporary edge.

In her most recent works, Vazakas adds 60's cartoon and comic book imagery underneath the painting surface, while using glittery mediums on top of the surface reflecting today's hip culture image.

Her work was featured in New American Paintings in the Jan. 2001 issue (Vol. 31).
