I write to heal as a recovering addict. It helps mend what has been shattered. I turn that healing into storytelling.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create self published children’s books, illustrated worlds, videos, and interactive websites like Mouse’s Enchanted Adventures. I write all of the stories and material for my books myself, and I also coded and built the website on my own. I love combining storytelling, creativity, and technology to bring magical worlds and original ideas to life.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in imagination, storytelling, technology, and the idea of building entire worlds from nothing. A lot of my inspiration comes from creativity itself, turning ideas into something real through writing, coding, art, and magical characters that people can connect with and escape into.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it as a down payment to open a business and create a magical café inspired by Mouse’s Enchanted Adventures, where people can step into his world. As a graduating programmer, I want to expand Mouse into books, animation, products, and an interactive experience people can truly visit.
