My Aunt showed me the way of life is art. Working on her final art project motivated me to do something with 'my' life I enjoy. That's ART!!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I can't seem to stick to just one medium. Growing up in a Taxidermy shop making Native American reproductions is where it all started. I work with rocks, wood, paint, leather, mud, photography. I even build giant war machines out of parts found in the Wasteland in a digital game called Crossout. Its full of artists and outcasts. I love any challenge that requires me to think, imagine and believe.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration comes from being alone too long or suffering in silence. Nature and animals inspire me. I create art to make me feel better about life's harsh realities. Art is my coping tool. The actions and art I create helps me to be closer to the people in my life that mean the most to me.
What would you do with $25,000?If I win I plan to use the money to do rock artwork and landscape art for the Veterans Hall in Kanab, UTAH where I grew up.
