I create art because it lets me turn my thoughts and emotions into something real. It’s one of the few ways I can show how I see the world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Well I enjoy all forms of art. I'm a multidisciplinary creative being who brings ideas to life through multiple forms of expression. My work spans from fashion, sewing, drawing, painting, and visual design like tattooing, along with creative outlets like decorating and cooking. I don't limit myself to one medium, instead I choose whatever best expresses my vision and transforms everyday things into art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from life. I enjoy nature, experiencing, and the flow of the world. I feel as though that my inspiration also comes from God, His creation inspires my creativity. I enjoy watching flowers bloom and cartoons and watching others express themselves, which also fuels my creativity.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use 25,000 with intention and balance. A portion would go to my mom to help out with bills and help ease her financial stress at home. I would save solid amounts for security and emerges and invest in my creative growth by buying quality supplies, equipment, and building my skills in fashion and tattooing. The goal is stability now while creating long-term opportunities for my future.
