Meet the wildly imaginative and delightfully quirky Shreveport LA based artist who’s been wielding a paintbrush since she could hold one!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Anything. I pretty much create anything that comes to mind, with being in Louisiana, the craziest things come to mind— there’s so much around us!
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere I look! My brain is kind of chaotic.
What would you do with $25,000?I would have my own art studio! That people could visit, and I would put it in New Orleans. I can’t tell you how many people have begged me to have a studio. But having four kids, a husband, and being pregnant, due in August 2026!!!!! I can’t make it happen yet ?
