Creating gives my inner psyche a home, turning feelings into meaning and also in return, connectivity to others.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
If my work can enter every your mind, heart, or soul and can trigger an emotion, a memory, a sensation, inspire, captivate, and spark something inside of you, that is the art like to create.
Where do you find inspiration?Within myself. The many chapters each person has in their lives. The different versions we have of ourselves as complex beings. The light that shines through spring leaves. The way the wind moves along my face. The sounds of nature. Seeing people have a moment doing simple things such as enjoying a cigarette on their balcony with their cat. Love.
What would you do with $25,000?I would find a remote place in nature and immerse myself into creating with my senses, when they are the most keen. Like when you've hiked 2 days in and are free of all the noise of the modern world and can hear and see things so much more clearly. Paints, inks, rolls of canvas, paper, tools, and sculptural materials to make sure all my creative ideas that perk up on this retreat are met.
