Primal expression of my mirror I hold to 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!
I love creating mixed-media art, Gundam-inspired paintings, custom dioramas, resin pieces, and digital creations that blend nostalgia, emotion, and storytelling.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in anime, music, gaming, recovery, nature, human emotion, and the beauty hidden inside imperfect things. I’m especially inspired by imagination and transformation.
What would you do with $25,000?Bring my 13 year old son to Florida from Montana (travel costs are too much for me) and I would donate a large chunk to my AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) club and then invest in better tools, supplies, and workspace upgrades so I can grow as an artist, create larger projects, attend events, and share more art with the community.
