I have stories to tell and visions to share. I love creating and sharing my own style through my work. The connection I have to the image.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Photography, I write poetry as well.
Where do you find inspiration?It starts at my feet. I love to walk the street and explore new areas both here in the US and internationally (when possible). When I work with a model, I like to get ideas from my favorite films and music albums to create my own vision and story. I design the shoot from there.
What would you do with $25,000?$25k would be a game changer for me to get my work out in the world through expanded distribution and publishing. I can have high quality samples of my work made for showings. I could afford to restart my website. There are venues here in Pittsburgh that the money could help me rent space to show my work. I have 18 (20 by the end of 2026) published collections already and the money would be really help me launch as an artist.
