I love to create because of the processes and the connections I can make with people. I helps me gain confidence.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to create large pieces of art, murals most of all. The scale can seem intimidating but it’s so rewarding when finished and brings me and those that view it a lot of joy.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature for the forms, but the colors I reference historic work or fashion to find palettes that I like and match the mood I wish to convey.
What would you do with $25,000?I would split it amongst my family, wife and 2 teenage daughters who are also artistic and following their own path. My youngest daughter is enjoying the path exploring water colors, my eldest is a jewelry maker and my wife loves to produce intricate doodles. It could help them explore their journey without worrying about financial worries. Thank you for your consideration, have a joyful day :)
