I’m a self taught intuitive painter. Overly analytical. Working with internal & external chaos. I find peace & structure in my madness.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Honestly, I dont think of myself as an artist. At least not a painter. So many people serve as my muse. I feel my most creative when I’m love… the energy between a mutual attracton is electric & daring. Making art is how I dance for my muse. Animals also inspire me. Its always a struggle that I never win . I have little emotional ties to my work. Like my emotions my style is always fleeting.
Where do you find inspiration?The fragility of life inspires me . With each day there is a pivotal moment that happens that changes our trajectory for our given paths. I am a passenger experiencing the experience. I’m inspired by renegades & pioneers & the misfits of society. Abundance & the act of paying it foward keeps me inspired. 11-11
What would you do with $25,000?A portion, 1/4 would go to the local animal shelter here in my county. The rest would go to my own personal needs..like ice cream & more ice cream & a weekend thrifting in NYC… more love…. more knowledge…more time. And create an open space to teach! All mediums! where women can gather & share stories & bond… creating time capsules.. yes ❤️ that sounds nice…..
