Hello- I create art to spread joy and color to the world. During these times when tensions are high, colorful, joyful art is universal.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Visual art, specifically painting is my favorite type of art.
Where do you find inspiration?Seeing California sunshine and nature on a day to day basis inspires me. As well as seeing beautiful pieces from all around the world on social media and visiting museums. I practice and inspire to grow as an artist through my practice. But realize community and friends are what inspire me to be my truest version of myself.
What would you do with $25,000?In my dream I would rent a studio space that I could use during the day to paint and sell from then I would share it at night (when I don’t paint )with someone less fortunate that likes to paint in the evening and night. Right now I am painting at home and selling at local markets. I have paint from one end of my house to another. So having a studio space would be wonderful.
