To me art will always be something I use to cope how i feel. You see as a foster kid art helped me when people didn't. Art made me who I am.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to create a lot things for others as gifts but I'd say my favorite type of art to make is anything I pit my emotion into really.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration in the people I love or just within myself. The emotions I'm feeling. What I'm trying to convey in my art.
What would you do with $25,000?Id probably use some for my college fund, so that I can continue helping others. The rest I would be giving to my uncle who took me in and gave me a home, a family, and whole new life that wasn't bad anymore. I love him and I'm grateful to him everyday. So I'd want to gift him back for everything he's done for me.
