I have been creating art since I was 5 years old. I spent many years drawing but started painting 2 years ago. It brings me joy and peace.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I don't really have a favorite type but I do have a fascination with eyes. Anytime I can't decide on what to draw or paint I will just practice on eyes. Eyes tell you everything. I want to tell that in my art one day.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the chaos in my mind. I am trying to overcome some anxiety and depression from my past and when I hold that paint brush I feel in control. I feel calm minded and able to focus. My inspiration is the peace it brings through the process and the joy at the outcome.
What would you do with $25,000?I would spend some of the money on art supplies and learning to grow as an artist. I also would put some money up for my family and my son for his future as well.
