Creating art is in my bones. I am fully inspired by the process - it feeds my heart and soul. Art gives me hope for our world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Anything that brings me joy… I love to use lots of color, lights and darks… and give it a rich look with depth. I don’t like to be exact or make something look like a photograph… I want to be much looser than that. I feel like some of my landscapes, florals or jellyfish are more what you would dream them to be.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature… I love to immerse myself in it. Everything that you see - rain on flower petals, the deep greens in a forest, the sunlight peeking through branches… the lights and darks capture my imagination.
What would you do with $25,000?One thing would be to go to Venice on a painting trip! That’s one of my big dreams. My husband and I have never been on a honeymoon… so I would definitely drag him with me and make him paint, too LOL!
