I love to create art to maintain real people creating things instead of machines. There is a depth and soul attached to art created by me.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I have many different types of art that I love to create. Painting using acrylic paints, photography, making jewelry with natural stones, writing stories and poetry.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration by observation of my surroundings. In nature and its elements. Sitting and looking out at the ocean.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m the owner of the National Beat Poetry Foundation, Inc., New Generation Beat Publications, & BeatLife Mag, & Beat Laureate program. I started the org because of my love of Kerouac the Beats, books, & continuing free verse. Because I am a one woman owned business, I get no funding from state or fed agencies, don’t have a 501c3. Yearly I hold a Beat Poetry Festival and invite people from different states & countries and pay for their travel, housing, food by myself. This money would help me.
