I love to create art because it’s my way of expression and telling my story and the story of my subjects. Creating is air to my soul.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
That is truly a tough question because over the past 20 years I have grown into the talents that have inspired all areas of art expression for me. Music, photography and writing. So each art form is an expression of what I am trying to portray and share to the world.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration usually comes when I am driving or at the gym. Driving and being at the gym puts me in a space that allows me to relax and enjoy my surroundings, which leaves my soul and spirit open to receive inspiration, thoughts and feelings that allow me to create.
What would you do with $25,000?I would donate 50% of it to a children's art school to pay it forward. And the remaining prize money I would save and pour it back into my craft.
