I’ve been creating art since before I could speak. Using art to communicate emotions, feelings, or propose topics.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy all styles of art. I’m especially talented in realism and capturing emotions. I paint animals, people, cartoons, nature landscapes and basically anything you can think of. I make ceramics and enjoy creating 3D artwork.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration throughout emotions. Using my emotions to guide my thought process and create a painting that will inspire and motivate a large majority of people.
What would you do with $25,000?I am currently attending Bakersfield college to earn my Studio Arts degree. I plan to become an Art teacher and hopefully work my way up to becoming an Art Professor for University levels. If rewarded, I plan to use the $25,000 towards my education and transportation needs.
