I create art to express the movement in my soul & the cosmology of my life. I carve/relief print, I photograph, paint, write & tell stories.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am an expressionist artist at heart. My art falls into multiple categories including Magical Realism, Neo Surrealism and Geometric Art. I fell in love with Magic Realism with artists like Michael Parkes and Frida Kahlo.
Where do you find inspiration?My muses range from creatures in nature (those that walk on the earth and fly in the sky,) to planetary alignments, astrological phenomena, archetypal energies that have shaped my life, the chakras, and community art collaborations!
What would you do with $25,000?I would give back to two local art organizations who awarded me scholarships last year and pay forward two scholarships this year. I would replenish my art supplies that are low. I plan to use a portion of it to support my next three art projects: a 2x2 wood carving, a photorealism project and chakra art.
