I create art to heal, to tell ancestral stories, and to turn emotion into something tangible and alive.
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 creating art that you can feel, and experience. I don’t want you to just look and feel, but actually use your senses.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my roots and culture. Also my mother, and grandmothers.
What would you do with $25,000?I can and would use this to expand my work with children, especially those with special needs, creating spaces where art becomes a tool for healing and expression. I’d also build culturally rooted workshops and retreats that connect people back to themselves, their creativity, and their ancestry. This isn’t just for me—it’s for every community I serve.
