I love to make people feel something, anything.
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 type of art to create is art that stirs emotion, passion, thought, sensuality. I enjoy feeling moved while I create, being challenged to be in the moment and intimately aware of self. The hope is that that emotion will resonate in one way or another with the viewer.
Where do you find inspiration?I often find inspiration in others interpretations of raw emotional experiences like pain or triumph or sensuality. The human experience is so magical it’s easy to be inspired even in the simplest of moments.
What would you do with $25,000?I will double it and invest in myself, my family and my community. It will be used as a seed to grow and feed many souls in many ways.
