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 type of art to create is any of the countless ideas that form in my mind . I do so many different things from woodworking, painting, sculpting, costume making, logos, video editing, story book writing,... I find it difficult to stay in one type of art ..for me art is more like the thrill I get out of bringing the idea to life . If I was going to pick one of the many things I create something I enjoy the most is my whimsical fantasy Birdhouses. Manly because I create a worlds in them
Where do you find inspiration?My main inspiration for my work comes from my observations while I'm out in nature. I study textures, colors , I find in nature and use those in the design of my works I call it perfectly imperfect design because I figure that nature is the best place to look and I design around what's already gifted to us . the best form of inspiration to me is God's gift you just have to take them time to look
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to set up a proper art studio for myself . Then travel to see some of this amazing planet we share together.
