I process the various facets of my experience, as someone diagnosed with serious mental illnesses, through my photo self portraits.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorites are wearables and photography. Wearables might be jewelry, accessories like neck textiles, hats, or upcycled fashion.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere, from urban life, to what other people are wearing, how nature mixes color, other artists work, and literature of all eras.
What would you do with $25,000?I would rent an art studio as I currently live and create in a 250 sf HUD studio apartment. I'd like to invest in my community by hosting, organizing and teaching art classes for youth, disabled, homeless and recovering people in my area. I would also go visit my ninety year old step mom in California.
