Creating art helps me express what I feel when words fall short—it’s how I tell my story and connect with others.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating expressive, emotional pieces that blend realism with imagination—especially portraits and mixed media. I enjoy experimenting with textures, colors, and different techniques to bring depth and feeling into my work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life—music, emotions, people, and moments that leave a lasting impression. I’m especially inspired by personal experiences and the stories that shape who we are.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to support my education as a student at Savannah College of Art and Design. It would help cover tuition, supplies, and workshops, allowing me to focus on growing my skills, exploring new techniques, and building a strong foundation for my future as an artist.
