It's in my blood and brings me peace. Art brings out emotions that hide inside of me, that I would not otherwise speak freely of.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art creation is painting. I love acrylics and oils. I enjoy many mediums, and most recently paint acrylic ornaments by commission and or direct sales as a pass time.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world around me. I love the outdoors, looking at a field of wild flowers with buzzing little bees and birds, brings me joy. I can also see art in spider webs on a dewy morning! My children and grandchildren bring that same feeling inside when I look at their lives and photographs of their amazing antics. Standing on a beach, staring at the ocean waves, bring calm and inspiration to me as well. Sometimes it's just a certain photograph that can draw me in to create.
What would you do with $25,000?If I would win this contest, I would bank my money to help my husband and myself financially. I would travel and see the beautiful sights in this country, as well as help out my children and grandchildren. Winning this competition would help me to advance my artwork in ways that I have always dreamed of but never thought I could ever achieve. I am so grateful for just a chance to be apart of this.
