I turn raw wood into something that makes people feel something—pride, curiosity, or connection. Creation is how I leave my mark.
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 art to create is chainsaw carvings that transform raw logs into detailed, story-driven pieces. I specialize in bold, expressive figures that stand out and connect with people instantly.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the natural form of the material and the stories people connect to—folklore, emotion, and real-life experiences. I let the wood guide the direction, then carve until the character shows itself.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d turn $25,000 into growth—investing in better equipment, larger-scale carvings, and a serious online presence. The goal is to take what I’m already building and push it into a recognized, profitable brand.
