I capture feeling & therein lies the potential for myself & the observer to simply "be", a moment of connection where no words are required.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy creating vibrant, high contrast, abstract art that evokes emotion and art that is easy for the viewer to insert themselves into through relatablility.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my work comes from my interactions with the people in my life, processing my own emotions or the life and solace I find in nature. I also love painting eyes, because they look like tiny little universes in their own right, that hold the key to the specifics of each person's story.
What would you do with $25,000?I would give much of it to my parents, who have made it possible for me to chase my dreams of making a living off of my craft. I'd save the rest so that I could better address the needs of my household, as well as take advantages of art-related opportunities, as they arise.
