Creating art that brings someone joy is such a great feeling! I also love teaching and helping new students find a life-long love for art.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Watercolor and mixed media
Where do you find inspiration?I love to do portraits of people and animals. So mostly from my own photos or my friend’s photos.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to travel on an art retreat before I get too old to enjoy it. I would also maybe open an art studio so I could teach new young students.
