I create art to capture more than just a face, but the soul behind the image; turning a moment into something deeply personal and timeless.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’ve worked with colored pencil, water color, mixed media, and acrylic paints, however my current work is mostly digital. I don’t have a favorite type because art comes in many forms.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the people around me and the lives they so confidently share. My mother is my biggest inspiration in all my work because she herself is an artist.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the prize money, I would use the money to help pay off my mom’s debt. She’s the most giving and thoughtful person I’ve ever known and asks for nothing in return. I would love the opportunity to show her how much she means to me and give her the chance to change her life! She deserves more than I can offer her, so winning this prize would mean the world to us, but especially me, for allowing me to share it with the woman I know who deserves it!
