I love creating art because it gives people permission to feel, express, and step into their power.
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 art to create is collage, because it lets me turn separate pieces into one powerful story.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the complexity of life. The challenges, emotions, and moments we live through every day give me endless depth to draw from. Much of my inspiration comes from my own experiences and from the people I encounter along the way.
What would you do with $25,000?You should choose me with the $25,000 because I am an artist who creates with purpose. My work is rooted in vision, emotion, and originality, and this opportunity would allow me to elevate my craft, expand my reach, and create art that connects deeply with people. I’m not just creating for myself — I’m creating to inspire, to move others, and to turn life’s complexity into something meaningful.
