Rankin Willard is a multidisciplinary artist with an emphasis in paper collage. His style spans figurative, pop art, and minimalism with pieces often containing a bit of dark humor. While choosing not to pursue a traditional studio art major at university, he incorporated photography, sculpture, art history, scene design, architectural history, and pop culture theory into an individualized path serving to impact his current work.

His artwork is held in private and corporate collections around the world from London to Australia, including by high profile collectors like fashion designer Christian Siriano, supermodel Coco Rocha, and tv personality Clinton Kelly.
