My creative side is partially about the escape. But it is also about forging a different path. Creativity is freedom.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Costume...That is an easy answer! Fashion was my first love. So it makes sense that costume became so dominant in my life. I love escapism. You get to be something you are not.
Where do you find inspiration?Emotion is my biggest inspiration. I've not had an easy road. So learning to feel emotion, without "gutting" my internal self was not an easy chore. But again, escapism gives you a kind of relief, you can't find anywhere else.
What would you do with $25,000?Finish what I have started. I own the name and site of the business i am trying to start. But funds for the idea are slower than I had hoped. It will be a platform for artists to feature their craft, as well as sell for a higher dollar. The plan is in motion, and I've been using advisors to help in combining several avenues into one.
