I create to celebrate life’s rhythm, capturing the present, connecting stories - finding beauty, movement, and community in everyday moments
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create work that celebrates rhythm, energy, and joy in everyday moments, inviting us to pause and be present. I work across mediums, including acrylic painting, pencil drawing, and digital illustration, allowing each idea to take shape naturally.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything. Creativity is how I move through the world. I notice colors, movement, energy, and everyday moments. By staying curious, observing small details, and reflecting on the present, I translate what I see and feel into visual language.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in launching a creative project that brings my artwork into textile design. It’s an idea I’ve been developing where art meets fashion in a bold, expressive way, creating pieces that people can wear and experience as part of their everyday lives.
