I create intimate stories of land, creatures and memory on reclaimed and organic surfaces- bark, slate, palm fronds and forgotten objects.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create my favorite work from reclaimed materials—bark, wood, and slate that already hold their own quiet stories. My images rise from these surfaces like small sculptures, intimate worlds shaped by land and the creatures who move through it. Each piece honors what’s often overlooked, turning weathered fragments into living moments of place and memory.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by what the land leaves for us to find—bark, wood, and stone carrying stories that ask to be seen again
What would you do with $25,000?Buy a vehicle that can transport me and my works to shows throughout the southwest- no more rentals!
