I was born with a dream to be an artist. I’m here now, working toward the best version of myself & helping others tell their story as well.
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 always inspired by something new, so I am constantly experimenting with new ideas, concepts and mediums. I'm always learning new skills and testing the boundaries of what I know I can do. I love collaborating with and learning from other artists to help one another refine our crafts.
Where do you find inspiration?Honestly. I find inspiration everywhere. To the point where it can be overwhelming and exhausting because I get so many ideas they keep me up at night. It's also hard to accept that most of them will never come to exist, and that there's really not enough time or resources for me to even make them happen. I love people though, so I'm constantly inspired by the strangers I meet, their stories, and their looks. A lot of my inspiration comes from other artists around me that I look up to as well.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won 25k I would use it to help me build a creative ecosystem where I can make a living as an artist who collaborates with other creatives and provides them with a shared space to grow, create opportunities, meet other artists, create workshops, host events, and ultimately connect and build up our community.
