Art lifts me, soothes me, invigorates me, and always urges me to continue to discover. It is my peace & joy & escape in a chaotic world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am ALL over the place! I laugh when I stand in my studio and see everything from fine art historical pieces in oils, acrylic or charcoal, detailed portraits of Native Americans in all their regalia, colorful abstracts, moody watercolors, whimsical cats, my beloved Moon over "my" Mississippi, or UFOs over a historic train depot and ask "Who AM I?"
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the glory of the desert, the beauty of a sunrise and sunset, burst of color in nature, other artists creations, anything that takes my breath away and fills me with a need to let some of it out on canvas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would buy a car so I can give my daughter's car back to her. Truth.(I totaled mine, passing a kidney stone, and only had liability insurance.)
