Art is an escape. For the artist and for the viewer. I create art to escape to another world, my world, as I see it through my lens.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art varies throughout my journey. I have experimented many types of mediums and styles (paint, photography, videography, murals, snow art, tattoos, engraving, prints…) I enjoy them all, as variety has helped become a versatile artist. Currently I am focusing on creating art that showcases the beauty of our natural world, specifically Alligators, while promoting conservation awareness.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes the greatest display of art, Nature. Beauty, balance and harmony, are all found in nature. The references used in my pieces come from wildlife and landscape footage that I have captured. Hopefully my work inspires others to explore our world, while appreciating the abundance, and the value of life surrounding us.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to pursue my dreams and help the ones that have been there throughout my journey, my family. I would also buy materials and gear. A portion of it would be donated towards conservation and foster kids causes.
