I view art as a healing mechanism. I have several disorders I deal with, and I create to both heal, and to touch the minds of 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 create acrylic pieces as well as watercolor and colored pencil. Regardless of medium, my favorite art to create revolves around anatomy and death intertwined with life.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration most throughout my mental health journey and the process of healing and growing!
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in a studio space to be able to create on a larger scale, alongside paying some bills and investing in supplies.
