I found a passion for watercolor in my 50s,after trying other mediums without feeling a connection. I finally found a way to express myself.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I paint with watercolor and gouache to create photo-realistic artwork.
Where do you find inspiration?I paint mostly with natural landscapes, birds, and horses in mind. The play of light and shadow inspires my need to recreate the scene.
What would you do with $25,000?I have just retired, and I would use the prize to continue to grow and learn in my medium, and to help to nurture other local growing artists.
