I love to create art to express my love for animals as well as bring joy and amusement to 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 love to create acrylic paintings and graphite drawings. Typically I make portraits of animals or narrative pieces. Story telling is one of my favorite things about art and I use animals as subjects to make commentaries about real life with a mix of humor.
Where do you find inspiration?I typically find inspiration from my own pets, my cat is usually the subject of my paintings. My connection with my cat is very strong and he inspires me everyday. I’m also inspired by many other types of animals because of their unique qualities. Spotting different patterns and behaviors in different animals plays a huge role in the art that I make of them.
What would you do with $25,000?I would save the $25,000 for future opportunities like paying for college, or creating a business of my own.
