I enjoy the way art drifts you away from reality and your creating an image in your head and your imagination takes you to different places.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Creating the essence of an imagination, Nature and Culture into a painting or a carving to bring out the beauty and add definition to a piece. I love creating a piece of ceramic with a meaning and sometimes telling g a story by looking at the ceramic piece, whether it's a wedding vase a jewelry Box or a cup. I want others to see a butterfly in another element of beauty while incorporating distinctive designs with meanings behind them. Colorful and room for what we can imagine more of, or see.
Where do you find inspiration?In nature the way a butterfly moves or how a flower blooms.In music , how a song reminds us of a place and time, and in culture, designs that were used and taught to be apart of healing and teachings. I want my work to be seen for everything it is besides just a picture. The possibilities of a imaginative scenario taken place through creation.
What would you do with $25,000?I lost alot the past year. A home for my family. A vehicle that fit us all due to financial difficulties with employment. Unfortunately I've yet to replace these things for my family. Yet we remain positive and continue to stay together and positive. I still do my art and love to drift away in its illusion regardless of my circumstances. I would love to give my family some peace of mind and hope. Give my hardworking husband a break so he don't have to worry so much. I know 25,000 would help us
