Kim Cooper's Pop Art—Portrait of Betty

Pop Art

I’ve always been a fan of movies and music—especially the vibrant characters within them. This piece brings their colorful personalities to life through my favorite bold hues.

Kim Cooper's Abstract Art Portraiture—Oswald

Abstract

My abstract work is a departure from the structured nature of my surface pattern designs. It’s an effort to combine the colors I love through layers and space in a more expressive, freeform way.

Going Bananas

Inspired by Andy Warhol’s bananas, these pieces take a punk and urban twist—bold, gritty, and unapologetically playful.

Corn!

Growing up on a farm, my father always hoped I’d compete in the local Dairy Princess contest. I never entered—so this piece is my homage to him.
