Creating is feeling. Through written words, actors, musicians, friends. I see and feel, there is no time that we will not exist.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m drawn to creating layered, expressive pieces that sit somewhere between realism and abstraction. I’ve always been interested in pushing past just capturing what something looks like. My focus has shifted over time toward building depth—through texture, contrast, and movement—so the work feels as much as it’s seen. My style has evolved into something more intentional over the years. Less about perfection, more about presence. I’m connected to that space right now.
