I paint for my own Individual fulfillment but I am pleased when my art makes people find a moment of happiness.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Painting is my preferred medium but I enjoy creating things like small wood sculptures and papiermache masks.
Where do you find inspiration?I paint what I feel, remember, or imagine. I have a strong emotional connection to my artwork. They are part of me and my past.
What would you do with $25,000?I had not thought about what to do with the prize. Off the top of my head I would upgrade my studio with about $5,000 -$6,000 and donate the rest to some charity that has suffered from the cuts from the current administration.
