I create art because it’s food for my soul.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating art that feels deeply personal--- pieces that speak to my soul while capturing the eye.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in emotions and real- life experiences. I'm drawn to moments, memories and feelings that leave an impact, and I translate those into art that others can both see and feel.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to invest in my growth as an artist---expanding into mural work, upgrading materials, and creating larger, more impactful pieces that can be shared in public spaces. I want to create art that not only lives on a canvas but exists in the world where people can experience it every day.
