I love to share my perspective of beautiful places. I think we often get busy working and miss out on what this world has to offer.
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 exploring all avenues of art, but I find the most passion in photography. Capturing places, people and pets in their truest form, which is often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of the day. Looking through the lens, I have a different perspective and I love to share that view point with others.
Where do you find inspiration?Quite literally, almost anywhere. Driving through crowded busy streets, or back roads, beauty is there. But I find my truest "happy place" to be wandering in the untouched. Places where there are less human footprints and more of the unknown. This planet offers us vast opportunities and I love to lean into those moments. I've been given a second chance in life to do what I love to do, and I dont want to squander it.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, invest in myself. I've never truly had the opportunity to do so. The idea of not stressing over paying bills, while trying to get my name and photography out into the world, is something that seems foreign to me. I would go to a couple "bucket list" locations and then let's be honest.... my dogs would be spoiled too!
