I love capturing unseen beauty, character, innocence, laughter, and honest intentional moments that can be felt and remembered.
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 anything that feels alive; objects, moments, or details that catch my eye, make me look twice, and stop me in my tracks. Creating art allows me to become fully present with what’s in front of me, while capturing the beauty of what was, what is, and what could be.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, everyday moments, and the quiet details that invite me to see life from new perspectives.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would first outfit my brother’s room to better support his daily functioning, comfort, and independence, as he lives with mental and physical impairments. I would also invest in upgrading my camera equipment to continue growing my photography work, and set aside the remainder in a small fund for my daughter’s future needs.
