Since I was a small child, I created artwork as a sense of wonderment and escape. I had a traumatic childhood and art was a way out.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am a very eclectic artist that’s work expanses from expressionism to abstract. My favorite art to create is animals and landscapes. I love using bold, vibrant and at sometimes unexpected colors. Bright colored artwork is my signature.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration throughout nature, whether it is an animal or plant, a landscape or cloud formation, to the very cells that make our bodies!
What would you do with $25,000?I have an extensive background in medicine from being a Radiation Therapist to a Physician specializing in pathology. During this time I have found patients’ resolve to heal just as important as the treatments they were receiving. The ability to visualize healing oneself is a powerful force in manifesting a return to health. But patients cannot always visualize their illness. I have a dream to create healing visualization portraits of patient’s microscopic slides to aid in their ability to heal.
