Art for me when I was young was a way I could be accepted by my peers. Now it’s about trying to create new idea, and emotional response.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Illustration's, pen and ink, graphite, colored pencil. Creating in this form allows me express my feelings, thoughts, and ideas, in a way that is pleasing to the eye, and can be interpreted by the viewer however they see fit.
Where do you find inspiration?Natural world, outside, my experiences with living outdoors, the natural beauty of Montana and Idaho and the great northwest are always an endless supplier of ideas and inspiration. Animals and the landscape are an endless challenge for me creating an allusion of a real place but connecting it with spiritual presence of our natural world. Telling stories with my illustrations by hiding hidden meanings or imagery within the artwork to create a deeper psychological meaning.
What would you do with $25,000?This money would be used as a catalyst for further publishing, and expanding my artwork. Future plans would include more gallery showings, expanding my reach to people, places, and cultures. Art is the universal language of mankind this money would allow me to expand those horizons.
