To put it succinctly I don’t feel whole unless I’m creating art in some way. More so than anything, creating art makes life worth living.
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 a photographer, violinist, and mandolinist primarily (in that order). It really depends on the situation, but photography is my biggest passion.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere. In a fluttering of notes in a film score that invokes a feeling of an image, or an image that invokes a symphony in my head. I think it’s incredibly important to pull inspiration from the most diverse places possible.
What would you do with $25,000?First, I would buy a new pro-grade camera and new lens. Secondly, I would be able to take a step back and help out my parents for a while. My mom is disabled and my dad works too much to really be able to help her as she needs.
