I create art because it’s the only way I know to express who I am, what I like and it’s the best way to show who I am as a person
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 doing portraits of people that inspire me whether that’s family members, musicians, actors or so on. I believe a person’s face tells a story and I want to share that story
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere from music that I listen to, to movies, to everyday interactions that I have with people. Inspiration can be found in the quietest moments of life to the loudest as long as I’m paying attention
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my son and daughters school tuition. It’s been rough lately, I had an accident at my full time job that tore my rotator cuff, I had surgery but still can’t use my drawing hand. I’ve had to turn down jobs because I can’t do the work because of my injury.
