I like to create art that speaks volumes. Color has no bounds. Art may calm me but I want people to feel excited when they see it.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Well, good art! But beyond that I love vibrant colors above the depths of deep nothing. I love texture amongst the smooth surfaces. When you look at my paintings I want you to feel like you’re in a dream. Or floating through my imagination. I want you to feel my emotions from the canvas. Or start your own journey and go where your imagination leads you. Whether it makes you laugh, cry or feel excited any emotion that might help someone heal. That would complete me as as artist.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m a Cincinnati-based visual artist whose work blends vivid abstraction with layered structure, exploring the interplay between nature, architecture, and human presence. Working in acrylics, digital media, mixed techniques, and markers, my pieces are bold, surreal, and emotionally resonant — often transforming familiar landscapes into dreamlike compositions that pulse with color and movement. ~”A DARK WORLD NEEDS COLOR”~ THE CRG EXPERIENCE UNLEASHED
What would you do with $25,000?My dream is to open my own gallery! I would be the happiest person in the world if I could make my living that way! I have 2 boys and life is more expensive than ever. It would help me to start saving some money for tomorrow. It would totally change my life. I love to create art for people to enjoy. I could update my supplies a bit as well. I am so excited for this opportunity to create what I love for such an amazing cause. My heart is completely invested and full of passion towards this task.
