I love the wonder and inspiration people can find in art. To see all the emotions and colors of the world bringing people joy is my passion
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create all kinds of art. I do pencil sketches, and digital art, but I am whole-heartly captured by my camera. I love capturing people, landscapes and animals. Even the tiniest flower makes a wonderful picture in my eyes. I love to find moments where the photograph could prove to be awe-inspiring for other people. I hope that by sharing my art, it can bring fascination to the minds of everyone.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature for the most part. When I see a bird flying or a frog in hiding, I cannot help but bring out my camera and try to get as close as I can. Other times visions just unravel in my dreams. Another inspiration is the smiles and amazement of people, or the daily lives of people I do not know. How can I capture that wonder. Paintings also excite me; I could likely study them for hours. I also enjoy teaching artistic children how to do basic sketching skills.
What would you do with $25,000?To be completely honest I would likely save up the money. At least until I have enough to make my visions come true. Eventually I want to be able to help artists of all ages share their talents. Even old dogs can learn new skills and I love being able to let them share and explore further. I would love to create exhibits like Meow-Wolf; where you bring artists of all talents to create one elaborate masterpiece that brings out the curiosity and child in all of us.
