I create art to heal, process emotion, and turn lived experience into beauty that reconnects myself and others to peace and truth.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Your favorite art to create is emotionally expressive, healing-centered work—especially luminous seascapes and nature-inspired paintings—alongside tactile sculpture using concrete and building materials, and storytelling through performance art and poetry, all rooted in transformation, connection, and inner healing.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration isn’t something I find, it's what I reconnect to, for me it lives in moments that regulate my body and unlock my emotions: in nature (like ocean light, skies, and flowers) where my nervous system softens, in music that translates feelings into color and movement, in my lived experiences and unspoken emotions (which are powerful creative material), in studying other artists with curiosity rather than comparison, and in my everyday life as a mother and healer.
What would you do with $25,000?A $25,000 investment would be strategically allocated to establish a sustainable creative and community-centered arts initiative by supporting five key areas: the development of a fully equipped studio environment with professional-grade materials to ensure consistent artistic production; the creation and filming of a high-quality pilot episode for Soul on Canvas, a therapeutic arts-based television concept intended for local broadcast; the preparation of a safe, restorative space for creatives.
