Creating art is an integral part of who I am. Through it, I express ideas and sentiment that I can not otherwise articulate.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am drawn to rich detail and complexity and I enjoy creating art that rewards the curious. To that end, my work is multi-layered, both literally and conceptually. I strive to tell relatable stories that make us reflect on who we are, the world around us, and where the two intersect.
Where do you find inspiration?I am an explorer at heart and I tend to find inspiration within the overlooked. I am constantly bombarded with new ideas, sparked by both novel discoveries and mundane daily rituals. These churn in my head, along with my passions, anxieties, and bizarre curiosities, creating a conceptual stew from which I find tasty morsels to draw upon for my art
What would you do with $25,000?$25K would provide some freedom from vending and allow me to spend more time creating, exploring, and improving my art. It would allow me to participate in more exhibitions with the goals of growing my audience, connecting with the creative community, and sharing my creations.
