Its the most beautiful way to express your self. Sometimes painting tells your story better then what you write.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
If I had to choose one type it would be painting. I love all types of art, but painting has to be my favorite.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, I really started painting after my husband and I moved to Alaska. I went to school to be a graphic designer. During my studies, I fell in love with Van Gogh and Goldsworthy. While living in Alaska, my love for Bob Ross really took off. Between the three of them and nature, really have made me into the artist I am today.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly a hard question to answer. Some of the winnings would of course go to my medicle bills. I would really like to donate a good portion of the winnings to the Susan G Komen foundation. The real win for me would be the mentioning in the Art Forum. That would be simply amazing! I feel it could be the start of my professional art career.
