I believe with art we allow ourselves to share our most inner depth without words, to share what we are made of and to hope to connect.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love all art- truly. I am an actress by profession but I say painting is for me- no rules. I also make jewelry, clothing, and anything I can get my hands on. As a child i didnt have much, so what i wanted i had to create...which i am forever grateful for. I also love creating small paintings and works of art on my nails as well. I usually buy supplies from the thrift shop, dollar store, and old things I find in my space.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in life. Human stories, told and untold. The depths of our experiences here matter and resonate the most with my heart. Another human being speaking the depth and darkness of their soul is everything to me. Those that you meet by destiny and open up to you within the first hour about the deepest things they have ever experienced....warriors. all pieces of my experience and memory on this earth inspire me in my art.
What would you do with $25,000?It would change my life completely. I would love to have a safe space that I can create in, no rules, just art. I volunteer at an animal sanctuary and would LOVE to give back to them. To be able to feed a mass group of humans would also be a very beautiful thing I would love the opportunity to do. I would also take classes that I havent been able to yet and improve my skills to be able to achieve all of my dreams.
