As a child, I'd spend hours drawing. Art has always been my passion and I love how I can show the world my perspective on canvas.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create all types of art. From painting, pencil, and mixed media to digital art and photography, I love to experiment and expand my horizons to create beautiful, inspiring pieces. I find calmess in brushing long strokes across the canvas, but also bring a creative addition with other mediums, aiming to bring cohesiveness with the materials I use and the image I am revealing.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the American southwest. The beautiful, diverse land has aspects of Native American and Mexican cultures that add color to the area. I look forward to our annual visit to see my grandpa in New Mexico where I get to experience the southwest and gain inspiration for my work. I love the colorful teals, oranges, and reds that are so evident in the culture, and aim to portray its vibrancy through my art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to pay for college and my degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in art to continue my creative journey in a unique way.
