I have always seen the world in an abstract way, and I love bright colors so I just combined the bright colors with shapes and circles.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Something that gives a little bit of everything into it. Some painting, some drawing, some shading and some holes in it. The most recent piece of work I did, is the last one on my profile that has a big heart. The first picture is it in the light, the 2nd is with light shining behind the picture and the third is when you put it under a blacklight. I used some glow in the dark paint this last time for a different effect.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration with the colors I use comes from an artist from the 90s. Her name was Lisa Frank and every girl at that age wanted a folder that had her artwork on it. The way the colors would pop right off the artwork is what I liked the most. I also love hearts and try to incorporate hearts into my artwork one way or another.
What would you do with $25,000?My husband and I got married April 20th, 2023 after being together for 7 years. This same year was when his health started to take a turn for the worst. He was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Due to his health, we never were able to take a honeymoon, which with this money, we can finally do. Also my husband and I want to travel back to Kansas where his kids and new grandbabies are, so he can see them possibly for the last time in his life.
