Art gives me the ultimate freedom to express and share a story of pure love.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite is heartfelt, emotional abstract art. I create straight from the heart to stir deep, visceral emotions and truly connect with others on a feeling level.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration daily in the world around me and the emotions within. Externally, it lives in my forest, my garden, and the beauty of Vancouver Island, alongside global travel, oysters on the half shell, Japanese food, and warm hugs. Internally, it stems from my own story, my anger, and my grief. To truly share my art with the world, I choose to be completely vulnerable.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would upgrade my studio to comfortably host and offer free art classes to the community. I would also invest in premium, high-quality art materials, travel to expand my creative perspective, and fully fund a dedicated gallery exhibition for my "Cellular Series."
