I love seeing any surface as a canvas, no matter the shape, size or location. Art and music is a universal theme that connects everyone. :-D
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Art that allows my creative side to flourish without restrictions and reflects my personality. Art that resonates with whomever it goes home with and becomes a part of their life.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. In the smallest of details, to the stories shared with me from people from all over, asking to turn their words into visual imagery of "painted music." I often hear from many people doing tributes to loved ones, sharing happy but also painful memories. I seek inspiration from them to create and find the joy of that journey, in a way that makes them smile as part of their healing and growth process.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use some of it to buy musical instruments, paint them and give them away to students who need an instrument, and then ask all who received one, to play in the, "First Painted Musical Instrument Band, Group or Painted Orchestra or Quartet" on social media. I'd like to show music and art have no boundaries or age, and show how it brings people together from all walks of life, across areas. Music and art is a universal theme for ALL.
