Art gives me a safe space to express myself and share my story. It has allowed me to learn so much.
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 creating illustrations on paper usually with color pencils. It’s what I have learnt the most.
Where do you find inspiration?A ton of my inspiration especially with my latest art has come from my mother. After her passing I learnt a lot about life and because of this I have gained a new passion and want for art.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had the blessing to earn this money I would take advantage to pay for my college tuition and fees. If I had anything left or any other wants I would move out and get my future started.
