I love to create art because of the sensory experience of the material brings me. I enjoy the process of creating and experimenting.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy making anything type of art that involves messy materials and experimenting with new techniques and ideas.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my own experiences from childhood to adulthood. I am drawn to childhood memories and the quiet moments that we rarely experience i today’s busy world.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my student loans and hope to invest the rest in my own ceramic business. I plan to sell my pottery and painting at art walks and farmers markets on the weekends as well as online.
