Art is a compelling energy. It develops its own creation drive. I’m just the medium.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Interpretive quilts, abstract paintings in acrylic and mixed media, tiedye, and traditional Cherokee dance skirts.
Where do you find inspiration?Textures, and in nature: flowing water, clouds, ice, patterns of biomimicry. I’m inspired by generations of my foremothers who were seamstresses and tailors, and by the skills of my father who taught silversmithing here where I was born.
What would you do with $25,000?Upgrade my Tiedye workspace with an industrial sink, lighting and heat. And improve my garden.
