A Pisces abstract artist, poet for life, who sometimes feels like a burden or blessing when creating. Both aware and alive.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Abstract acrylic paintings that come from the unknowing heart. I love to paint, draw, and write. I feel very blessed not to know what I am going to do. I go for it. Ever since I was a child living in La Jolla, California, I would express my experiences. I come from a beautiful family and more. Very loving and more. I still feel the child within me. Family and art are everything, and weird.
Where do you find inspiration?I never thought about that. Inspiration has been a living, lively being inside of me. Whether I want it or not, it is there, nothing more than curiosity. “If you show me reality, I will show you how to dream.”
What would you do with $25,000?I would give it away wisely. Supporting little free book libraries. These are art, writing, and readings. Create a charity that is “art of the heart space.” Connect those who don’t know the importance of art, books, reading, and writing. Creators strange in creativity. To be in love in the dark is to share in seeing in the light. What a blessing it is to be gifted and talented without knowing what is to come! Mental health awareness, depression, joy, thick and thin, will whisper loudly to $25K.
