Watercolour has a mind of its own and if I give it space and time, it will help me create exciting, beautiful paintings!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My love is watercolour painting. I paint a wide variety of subjects including flowers, people, landscapes and abstracts. This helps to keep my mind fresh to new possibilities.
Where do you find inspiration?I live in a rural town on the Grand River in Ontario Canada. I can set up my easel and paints out on my deck and find endless inspiration from all the natural beauty around me. I could spend the whole day painting there.
What would you do with $25,000?I would build a permanent structure with a roof on my deck so I can have shade from the heat whilst painting. I would offer free art classes to people who struggle to afford lessons and need help with art supplies. I would travel to another country and take a week long watercolour workshop.
