Art is my escape. where emotions become color, chaos becomes beauty, and I create meaning without needing a single word.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating mixed-media pieces that transform forgotten materials into something meaningful. Using broken vintage jewelry, artificial flowers, and layered textures, I build one-of-a-kind works that feel both delicate and bold. Each piece tells its own story, blending elegance with imperfection, and reflects my passion for giving new life to what was once overlooked.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from transformation and resilience, finding beauty in what others overlook. Vintage jewelry, nature, and everyday moments spark ideas, especially the way broken pieces can be reimagined into something whole again. My work is also inspired by emotion, healing, growth, and quiet strength, turning each piece into a story that feels both personal and universal.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to expand the art projects I already fund at my son’s elementary school. I’d provide materials, create hands-on workshops, and introduce kids to mixed-media art using upcycled pieces. Art should be accessible, and I want every child to feel the joy of creating something meaningful while building confidence, creativity, and a sense of pride in their work.
