I create artwork to bring awareness to social injustices&to capture the beauty of animals&florals. Also to connect with my late grandma
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 type of art to create include floral bouquets, social/cultural injustices, and horror.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from life experiences, whether it be fear, abuse issues, social issues, or feelings of euphoria. Also from the beauty and wonder of nature. When facing a creative block, I think about my grandma as a way to stay connected to her.
What would you do with $25,000?With the earnings I would open an art studio space in order to facilitate free workshops/galleries for the underserved arts community of Fresno as a way to help end exploitation of artists/crafters. I would also use the funds to donate to Arts In Fresno which is a non profit with the mission being to get materials of any medium to help keep creators on the path of creation. Also to assist with vendor set up equipment for art vendors as a way to help with their career&to make art more accessible
