Turning Emotion Into Art. Fueled by Imagination. 🙏
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Mystic. Androgynous. A balance of dark and light. Art that lingers in your soul and stirs something unspoken inside you. Not just meant to be seen — meant to be felt.
Where do you find inspiration?My imagination never rests. When something moves me deeply, I don’t just admire it — I recreate it in my mind. I pull it apart emotionally, reshape it through my own vision, and turn inspiration into something entirely my own.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m a widowed, single mama to three beautiful kids, and I work incredibly hard to provide for them — juggling two jobs, one of them full-time. My dream is to build a name for myself so I can spend less time just surviving and more time doing what I truly love: creating. Art, photography, jewelry, interior design — those are the things that light me up. I’m hoping to turn my passions into something meaningful enough to support my family while allowing me to live a life that feels inspiring!
