I create art because It’s therapeutic and helps me get through life. Seeing people’s reaction to my work is just as good as money.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create photo/paintings! Painting over my photographs creates a fantasy aesthetic.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in connecting with the public and seeing their reactions to my imagination. Exchanging currency for art is a plus!
What would you do with $25,000?I would reinvest in my art career! Buy more paint, make bigger pieces! And take a trip someplace inspirational. Then do it all over again!
