I create art because it is fun and therapeutic. I have chronic health conditions and art helps me feel better.
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 art inspired by Japanese anime and Western animation. I enjoy using both traditional art methods like watercolor and acrylic paints. I also like to create art digitally as well.
Where do you find inspiration?I usually find inspiration through my favorite artists, Katsura Hoshino and Yana Toboso. I have type 1 diabetes and another chronic autoimmune condition that causes me a lot of physical and mental problems. Art is the way I can escape and feel more free.
What would you do with $25,000?If I got $25,000 I would use to to go back to school and get my master's in psychology. I want to hopefully one day teach art so people with difficult health conditions can heal through art.
