I’ve been creating since I could hold a pencil. To me it’s the most freeing & expressive thing and I want to do it for the rest of my life.
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 painting large scale acrylic/mixed media portraits and murals. I like using vibrant, eye catching colours to create a sense of calmness and joy when looking at the painting.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired to paint by women all over the world. I want to represent them in their beautiful spaces and appreciate their different cultures and beauty. From a very young age I have been in awe of their strength and all the colourful, different, beautiful walks of life and their stories. It drove me to create and help tell their stories.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to further my art career and invest more in my artwork and tools, and open my own gallery.
