I love to paint because it gives me medium through which I can attempt to capture the beauty of nature and reveal the light in life.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is acrylic and oil paintings. I really love painting animals and sunrises, but occasionally need to be a bit expressive through abstracts.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature 🖤 the world we live in is so captivating and awe inspiring so it brings me a lot of joy to bring aspects of it into my artwork.
What would you do with $25,000?It would help pay for my tuition! I’ve spent the last 18ish months preparing my application to the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Antwerp, Belgium. I’ve been studying Dutch and painting so much in preparation! My portfolio is due June 3rd! But I received news from the school in March that tuition tripled due to government budget cuts so this reward would help tremendously!
