I began painting as a young girl and have continued into my adult life to feel a deep sense of peace, freedom and to honor my mom, Shirley!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Abstract art on canvas, paper and denim with acrylics, watercolors, ink and sharpie. Everything from oceans and sunsets to very abstract glitter filled deeper pieces.
Where do you find inspiration?In nature, such as the trees and clouds, especially the Florida beaches and within deep emotional times of life such as the pain of auto immune disease, grief and depression pulls out a lot of feelings of survival and struggle, but yet hope can be found in the midst of every brush stroke and splash of glitter. The strength and love that my mom Shirley so deeply had inspires me a lot and the blessing that she was to everyone around her
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to open up my own gallery shop to honor my mom Shirley and to bless others with joyful creations during difficult times in their lives such as auto immune diseases, mental health problems, grief and more. Also to help others with food allergies and immune challenges through recipe creations and more!
