Liz Aragon is an artist who grew up in the Bay Area and was schooled at UC Berkeley. Stylistically, her artwork can probably be described as pop surrealism. She is particularly influenced by pop surrealism and lowbrow art as well as Japanese anime and manga styles. The most prominent themes of her artwork include consciousness and thought, wandering in unfamiliar places in the world or within the mind, solitude, dreams, spirituality, the nature of reality, and the mystery of life. She usually portrays these themes by depicting characters with calm, contemplative expressions, placed in surreal and usually colorful atmospheres. Her characters are often lost in these dreamlike atmospheres, yet have the possible opportunity to be liberated from them. More of her artwork can be viewed at
