Creating reveals you, you search for. My art reflects the heart, helping others see themselves. Through it, I found truth and freedom.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to work primarily with acrylic paint , which I want to convey a story of how the viewer is always inside the painting. I pair art with poetry to tie in how art can be seen and heard.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the God I serve. I found the definition to love. An when I did I found the desire to spread his love to all nations. I paint with his love in mind, I walk with his love in mind, an I speak with his love in mind, because who will tell people what they need to hear rather than what they want?
What would you do with $25,000?The money would go towards anyone who’s searching for love that’s defined. I’d invest in more opportunities like this to share love, people who search for God might not say it with their lips,but their soul says it. I would invest into taking them out of the bush they hide in. So they can see when God made them he made a good thing. I want everyone to feel his glory for no one told me what I needed to hear until I asked God, so I would invest the money into telling people what they need to hear.
