I’m naturally a creative person and soul. There is just something healing and meaningful about bringing something beautiful to life !
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 very a very un orthodox type, though I use many forms of old style hand tools, methods, and materials to create my art. I love creating anything and everything I can. From painting to creating jewelry, as well unique pieces of art out of found or discarded items and antiques. I love creating functional stringed instruments and instruments abroad that cause people to think, feel, and imagine a world that was not so filled with instant gratification, pieces of art that cause you to look deeper
Where do you find inspiration?Love, Music, Culture, History, my family, hardships, struggle, equality, expression, honesty, mystery, spiritually, nature, flowers, my imagination, the constant nudge of finding beauty in the most simple forms. I’m inspired by everything in life that’s in me and around me seen and unseen.
What would you do with $25,000?Be wise to invest in my future. Help further advance my life as a whole for the better of my self as well some personal undertakings\responsibilities I have being the care taker of my disabled mother. I’d get a car better suited for her and her wheelchair, as well one big enough to actually carry my work to festivals and shows for the first time ever! I’d use it wisely and carefully for the good indeed !!!
