I create art to heal myself and heal the people in the world around me. Art is proof of our souls existence. Art is everything inside us.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Visual journaling. It's a combination of words and art. It's a way to tap into your subconscious mind and find answers you've been looking for. I listen to music and dialogue with the art and ask it questions. I have over 90 pieces of this "process art" I call it.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere! Architecture, nature, news, family, travel, past trauma, etc.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to help other artists in St Paul get started on their art journey. Maybe give 5 5k grants away? (I also need my car fixed right now so there is that, tierods I think mechanic said) But mostly I'd like to help others so maybe even starting an art collective with diversity as a focus and concept in my neighborhood of Frogtown, St Paul, MN.
