Art is passion, life, and freedom—my way of expressing how I see and feel the world around me.
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 small 5x7 paintings that feel personal and meaningful despite their size. Whether it’s a soft nude, a fantastical scene with dragons and crystals, or a simple still life of flowers or fruit, I enjoy capturing beauty in a way that resonates. My goal is to create pieces people cherish—art they can carry with them, display easily, and maybe even pass down to someone they love.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration by spending time around other artists and immersing myself in their creativity. I also look for beauty in everyday life—the quiet details people often overlook. Whether it’s light hitting a surface just right, a fleeting impression, or the colors in nature, I try to slow down and appreciate those small moments and turn them into something meaningful through my art.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would complete my small home art studio so it’s fully functional and accessible. It’s nearly finished, but I need help moving my supplies due to my disability. Once set up, I’d use the remaining funds to grow my online art community, where I teach people with chronic illnesses, injuries, and disabilities how to create and enjoy art regardless of their limitations.
