For me painting is a way to escape everything else in life and to focus on my inner creativity.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of scenes to paint are Canadian landscapes with the sun shining through the trees, colourful sunsets, birch trees and pines.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from the narrow slice in time each day when the sun is setting or rising and it colours the sky with brilliant tones.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won this money I would invest it in creating my own website to showcase my paintings online and purchase a high end printer capable of printing canvas prints of my work. I’d like to paint full time in my retirement and be able to reach a global audience with an online presence. Being able to sell limited edition prints of my work online along with my original oil paintings would be a lifelong dream come true.
