I create art to show my views and feelings with the world. “The world is my canvas, and I’ll paint it how I like”
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 creating abstract and emotional paintings with both acrylic paint and colored pencils. Creating colorful pieces of artwork is what I live for daily. It’s a calming experience and an artistic way of storytelling for me.
Where do you find inspiration?Through my life’s experiences and emotions. All of my creations are an emotional experience filled with storytelling that takes the viewer on an abstract journey.
What would you do with $25,000?I would save some of the money for my kids college funds, and take them on a lovely relaxing vacation. We haven’t been able to go on a vacation yet, and we all need it after losing my mother and aunt last year.
