Art is, itself, inherently political. In a world laden with overconsumption it’s an act of resistance to shamelessly and relentless create.
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 to paint. It’s the space where I can blur the lines between dream and reality. Anything magical, mysterious, whimsical or strange in watercolor, acrylic or oil.
Where do you find inspiration?With the current state of society and politics, it feels as though people are always talking and never taking enough time to see. Art gives me the freedom to shed light on the darkest corners of our every day without the rhetoric.
What would you do with $25,000?We moved to Minnesota from Seattle in 2024 and after our house sale closed, we discovered some water damage that had been covered up by the previous owners. $25,000 would put my family in a position to fix some of that damage in our home that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford without a miracle.
