I create art to embrace the horrors and beauties of the world, and shine a different light on them.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of art to create is music. Sometimes a single chord, or even a single note, can have a profound effect on me and those around me. It truly is a universal language.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. From the dip of a paddle when in my canoe to the hustle and bustle of a busy city. From the most beautiful smile to the nastiest sneer. Inspiration can come from the grandest experiences or the seemingly most insignificant.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off some debt, invest a little of it, and then use the rest to continue creating art in my little town and supporting the artists around me. Open mics, gigs, exhibitions, cabarets, theatrical productions, art festivals...these are things I already do and help others to do. I would simply continue to do so with a greater ability to show proper appreciation for the value of the artists I work with.
