Art is my identity, I have the privilege to express this w/ individuals that feel this also & want to be my walking canvases of living art.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Creating art is a daily necessity & I love creating dark, morbid like imagery w/ a heavy punch of feminine dominant energy. On the other hand tattooing has given me the opportunity to create imagery out of a collaborative process w/ my clients. I take their ideas & bring them to life, where they then wear permanently. These designs range from concepts they feel drawn to or a design that holds a meaningful message to them. I love creating art that makes people feel confident in their own bodies.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m always finding inspiration through dark apothecary fantasy, the laws of nature, tattoo history, & music. I also find inspiration at the tattoo shop I’m so fortunate to be apart of. Electric Oni Tattoo is enriched w/ so much artistry. The environment feels like a museum, to the elevated taxidermy displays, along w/ the carefully curated painting both historical & contemporary from fellow artists in the industry that I look up to. My perfect recipe to create: a dreamlike space & rockin music.
What would you do with $25,000?To start I would purchase art supplies, high end paint brushes & paints w/ all the colors I could think of, sounds like a dream. I also desire to travel the world & meet/get tattooed/work w/ fellow tattoo artists nationally & internationally. I want to experience every museum, see art from all the greats & masters. This would be a life alerting amount of money that would help give me the opportunity to experience art & tattooing that would elevate my artistic journey & craft to the next level.
