I love to create art because it calms my chaos. Through the hard times when I can't express my pain through words, art is my outlet.
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 type of art to create is ink in zentangle-style type art, with patterns, shapes, color and black and white.
Where do you find inspiration?My art is composed of black and white but also hints of color, symbolizing that in the darkness there's always beauty. I find my inspiration from life, past experiences, love and pain. Someone once described my art as a "beautiful chaos".
What would you do with $25,000?This is a hard question to answer. I think there are a few things I would do with $25,000. Pay my student loans, down payment for a first home, buy a car, etc.
