I love to create art based on my travels and imagination. Blending real life experiences and exaggerated color to inspire adventures.
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 mixed media and hybrid acrylic–oil paintings that explore rhythm and storytelling through abstraction.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from my travels as well as my imagination. I often paint from memory and use expressive color to create a layered, visually dynamic composition.
What would you do with $25,000?Purchase larger canvases and materials to continue experimenting with larger scale work.
