I’ve discovered what is bad for my heart is good for my art. I take what’s broken and recreate it through my love of music and passion.
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 emotionally driven mixed media where passion, feminine power, and rock ’n’ roll spirit collide, using paint, texture, and shattered elements to turn music and memory into something raw and real.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in music, in lived experience, and in the emotional depths most people avoid. I create from what I’ve felt, from pain, passion, and the moments that change you. Music moves through my work, and my work becomes the place where I take what’s broken and make it powerful, whole, and real.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it directly into expanding my work and elevating my craft. I want to create more original pieces, push my mixed media process further, and build a platform where my art can be seen and felt on a larger scale. I would also document my process, because my work is as much about the story as the final piece. Most importantly, I want my art to travel, to connect, and to make people feel something. This is about growth, but it is also about impact.
