Creating art quiets my mind. It’s where I breathe deeper, think less and feel more. It lets my soul speak without words!
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 creating detailed, complex woven tapestries - enjoy challenging myself with each piece and striving to make the next one even better
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the world around me - the Colorado mountains, my love for animals, the quiet beauty of moss.
What would you do with $25,000?I would improve my weaving - buy better tools, yarns and materials and spend more time making detailed tapestries. It would help me to grow as an artist. I'd also use part of it to travel and experience new landscapes, cultures to inspire my artwork.
