I create art to connect other people and to connect other people to one another.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art to create is Blacklight reactive paintings. They can’t be printed in the same way as traditional paintings. The reaction is in the neon paint itself. That makes every piece unique and irreplaceable.
Where do you find inspiration?Throughout my life I have found inspiration within the people. Thank you to all the people I’ve learned from, I’ve lost and the people I love.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would , pay off my student debt and would use it to grow Ivorylight interview. Ivorylight Interview is a series where I spotlight artists of all different kinds to connect myself and others to the art community. I started at the beginning of 2026, and with this support I feel that I can bring it to life.
