I paint to create small moments of joy in my life. It helps me cope with the world around me, especially when times get tough.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like creating whatever comes to mind. I try to capture the unique moments and beauty of the world in unconventional ways. I work primarily with acrylic paints and occasionally collage.
Where do you find inspiration?Everyday life inspires me. I work with special needs kids, and the little moments with them make me feel connected to something bigger than myself. I often pull from that. My mom is my guardian angel, and I often ask her for inspiration when it eludes me.
What would you do with $25,000?A goal of mine is to start an art camp for children, especially special needs or impoverished folks, so they can find a healthy avenue to express themselves and explore the world around them. I’d use the money for supplies and an accessible venue.
