Making things that are inside my mind come to life has been something that brings me joy and that I will be consistent about forevermore.
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 creations are abstract, things that are not real or loosely based on reality and formed from the mind.
Where do you find inspiration?I was an only child to a single hard working mother. We moved alot, she had to bring me with her to work often. One thing that was always consistent was a pencil and a piece of paper. Everywhere I went I found new shapes and colors to put together and make new things. As I got older I branched out into painting and I've never looked back. I hope to learn more everyday.
What would you do with $25,000?My husband works hard and tells me to chase my dreams while I raise our children.My family of 5 only had one vehicle, we have debt, we live in an apartment with no back yard for our 3 children. I would pay off all of our debt, move us into a suitable home, get a second vehicle and then I would apply for a business education program to help me further my art career and show my children they can work towards theirs goals no matter where you start.
