I love making art so I can turn my imagination and the imagination of others into something visible and beautiful.
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 art to make are acrylic paintings and digital art. With acrylic paints I can make something that can easily be hanged on a wall, to see it slowly take love brush stroke my brush stroke. While with digital art I have a very different work flow it feels faster sharper and I can add that to item like a sticker or a cup. To make visual art that makes you see something from colors combined in just the right way.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my friend, family and my inner world!! I like making my inner world visible to others but also love making others inner worlds visible as well
What would you do with $25,000?I would use a part of it to help grow as an artist but most of it would go to my family and friends that supported my art journey. They support a guy who was not the topical art kid growing up but that picked up art later in life and loved it so much
