I love to create art because it’s the way that I say everything I can’t say out loud. I love that other people can see and feel it back.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love painting portraits, landscapes and animals the most. I often Add whimsy to them. I want my art to look realistic with a touch of fantasy. Reality really doesn’t interest me, I want to show you something you’ve never seen before.
Where do you find inspiration?Well, I’m in love with nature. I’m in love with fairytales and imaginary places. I also Love fashion, and decor. I can spend hours being in any of those places and it inspires me to paint. I love To transform normal boring rooms into a world of color. Often creating my own decor to go into it and redoing the furniture too!
What would you do with $25,000?I’m honestly more excited about being in the magazine. I would Love more people to see my work. But If I was giving 25,000 I would buy a really nice printer so that I could make professional prints of my artwork myself to make my art more accessible to everyone. I would Invest it back into my work. I would Also use it to throw an incredible Art show! and buy new materials for the classes I teach. And I’d love to donate a mural to a school that couldn’t afford the supplies.
