When people ask why I make art, I tell them: "Because it isn't there." Finding "it" is why I'm here!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art is this style I've come to call "Simply Complicated." None of the individual parts are necessarily advanced or intricate, but when put together, they make a wonderfully beautiful mess full of small nuances that I take a lot of pride in.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, music, the work of others, the dark recesses of my brain, etc. Without sounding too artsy, everywhere and everything is in play! I just try to be open to it all so that I hear it when it comes calling.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put a big chunk of it into upgrading my art business and use a portion to pay off some debt. The more I focus on those two things, the more I can continue to put more/better art back out into the world! I'd probably set aside a bit to get something special for the family members who have supported me in my art endeavors as well.
