I create art to spark conversations about the spiritual power within all human beings and the supernatural power we all possess.
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 surreal illustrations and paintings with elements of flora and fauna, highlighting the spiritual aspect of being a human.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from nature and my personal experience as a young, artistic black woman exploring her mortality and spirituality through art. I also find inspiration from other artists I admire, such as sketches of Shay, J.C. Leyendecker, and GDbee.art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to invest in a studio for local artists to have a safe space to be creative, and to invest in a home for my partner and me.
