I create art because photography lets me see the world differently.
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 to create is photography, especially capturing nature and animals. I love freezing those little moments outdoors that most people walk right past.
Where do you find inspiration?I get inspired just by being out in nature. Photography is soothing for me — it slows everything down. Whether I’m watching animals or noticing small details outdoors, those peaceful moments are what inspire my favorite shots.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use $25,000 to pay off my debt first — being a photographer and a stay‑at‑home mom means income can be unpredictable, so getting that weight off my shoulders would be huge. Then I’d put the rest toward buying a little piece of land in the mountains. Having my own quiet spot surrounded by nature would be a dream and the perfect place to take the kind of photos I love.
