24/7, to create, connect, express what it is to be human in words, voice, music, dance, which is all story…it’s the only thing I want to do.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Story told through the written, spoken, sung word and/or sound, the intention being to connect, witness, express, celebrate what it is to be human with curiosity, wonder, play, and passion.

Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere and virtually all the time. That be the TRUTH! My grown kids think I'm a bit nutty---I have been described by them as appearing as a crazy hippie on mushrooms (hey, man, I was only drinking hot cocoa) giving off mad scientist vibes...buuuut, I would have to agree. Seriously, though, what comes to the forefront are: my dance/walks on our land; my dreams both nocturnal and diurnal; music and other people's creations; my lived experience and all of the people I get to experience it with.
What would you do with $25,000?The Practicality: pay some bills + The Future: Invest in the outreach and promotion of my work + The Joy: Share it! There are many loved ones who could use a little relief, release, and/or adventure.
