Aside from being my true outlet, I believe art is magic. As an Artist, the invisible becomes reality. Thought turns to touch…Idea 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!
" Pop - Contemporary" would be the category I'd put myself in. Bold, recognizable and eye catching work is my niche. From throwback nostalgia to popular icons, I love being able to deliver EMOTION and make people FEEL something when viewing my work.
Where do you find inspiration?These days I pull from my personal life for inspiration - from every emotion. As people, we have the innate yearning for stories and I believe that art is the best way to portray them. Stories from my own life experiences and others. What really inspires me to pick up a paintbrush? when an experience comes about and I ask myself one question, "How could this be said without words". you can express anything through art because art is emotion. That's been my inspiration and always will be.
What would you do with $25,000?I'd take a portion of the money and invest into getting a private studio space and equipment to further my craft and enhance my artistic energy. I'll also use some of the money to put down on an apartment.
