Mona Superhero is a unique new artist based in Portland, OR. The Willamette Week has written, Mona is a rising pop art superstar whose 15 minutes have officially commenced. Her work is reminiscent of sixties style silk-screened pop art that is comprised entirely of tape and carved with the precise strokes of an X-acto blade. Layer upon layer of relief-cut, brightly colored duct tape is used to sculpt images that are dangerously sexy and thought provoking. Infamous working class Rock Stars populate her works and world.

Mona’s array of art includes album art for Gruesome Galore, Hillstomp and Failing Records. The Willamette Week named Hillstomp’s “The Woman That Ended The World” 2005’s best album of the year calling Mona’s cover ‘gut-wrenching’. She also has exhibited her work in fine art galleries in San Francisco, New York, Portland and Seattle.

Mona was born in Abilene, TX in 1970 and raised in Austin. Although she has no formal training she has been active in the Portland art scene as a co-founder of Danzine magazine and as the writer, director and producer of a series of acclaimed cabarets.

She has been featured and/or interviewed by CODE (Amsterdam) Willamette Week, Portland Tribune, Seattle Weekly, Barfly and the Oregonian.
