Creating art has always been my passion. Whether it be drawing or painting, it’s a way I can express myself to the world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is acrylic paintings on canvas. Specifically paintings of nature.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration mainly through nature and personal experiences. For example, I went to the mountains with my family and a ladybug landed on my hand. I took a picture of it and painted it to record that memory. It got displayed at the San Bernardino County Museum two years ago. That experience has inspired me to keep painting and showcasing my art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would save it to invest in my future.
