I’ve been creating since I was very young. I grew up creating and making art. It has always been my safe space. It is my therapy.
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 to create realistic portraits. I’ve been practicing since I was very young. I also practice other styles of art, such as, painting, sketching, designing, etc. I am also a tattoo artist! I’m a passionate self taught artist and I’m very proud of my work thus far.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from myself, others and the world around me. Some days I go outside and draw what I see or feel. Other times I see a creative piece on social media that inspires my next creation. As well as some days, I have an overwhelming feeling that I just can’t process or express with words, so I use art to cope with that. I am currently a grad student in Chicago, studying art therapy. I am so excited to begin my journey as an art therapist in a couple years.
What would you do with $25,000?I would first put some aside to pay off my student loans 😅 and then I would use the rest to travel, help my family out, and donate what I can. I am a broke college student right now, working full time and going to school full time, so it would help tremendously. Thank you for your support!
