I love creating art, it allows me to express myself. I love challenging myself to see what I can create and the joy it brings others.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love all forms- I like to see what happens- I could start with a sketch and end with a painting or even mixing mediums and creating a shadow box- I never really know what’s going to be my end product till it “happens”. I do have to say my favorite things to create though are anything pinup style-
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around- again I love pinups from the 50’s- I get inspired by cats, cartoons, pop culture and beautiful people. I like mixing these things to create new things- I like being able to create things as gifts for people to help bring joy and even healing into their lives- that’s a really somethings special art allows- and that’s kind of an amazing gift to be able to share with the world
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, I would love to use it to upgrade some art supplies and help pay off some debts- to help free up my mind- and allow me to have a clear mind to create new works- it would clear up some stress and would allow my mind to fully create without having to worry about bills and such- and again pay for some upgraded supplies-
