You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I really love doing big pastel pieces or small pencil or ink drawings and I like to refer to my work as high energy or spiritual. I don’t really like to call it abstract.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my own personal experiences or even from other people’s personal experiences. I also find inspiration in books movies and music.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put some of it towards building my art business, pay some bills and buy something nice for my wife.
