Art gives me a therapeutic escape where my bipolar struggles fade. As an introvert, it offers the calm control and quiet peace I crave.
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 spray paint art on canvases, make my own stencils, and use tie dye on glossy photo paper, that creates a neat water color effect.
Where do you find inspiration?My L.A. roots, vibrant people I’ve met, and own past versions of myself, fuel my art. Teaching preschool further inspires me, adding a bright, playful, and colorful spark to my work. I’m inspired by my past struggles, that have in turn, made me a bright and positive person.
What would you do with $25,000?I would go buy more art supplies! Or, finally go to the dentist and get some cavities filled! Or maybe finally take my first vacation in 15 years! I work 7 days a week, and never catch a break.
