Those of us that can't fix the world can inspire and encourage the folk that do, seeing beauty everywhere. I also create to prove my points.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create with whatever medium I can get my hands on, and loved a mixed-media piece. Large murals are where my brain sings with the canvas, but I'll paint on whatever objects in front of me. The world needs more appreciation, not more stuff-- if I can paint a telephone pole, calculator, litter box, car parts... opportunity is endless. The world is my coloring book!
Where do you find inspiration?Everything everywhere my whole life. Small community music groups, gardening, dingey alleys and glorious mountains. Every small community cultivates its own niche artistry, and my life's journey is blending them together. Clowning and cartoons really complete a picture for me.
What would you do with $25,000?First, pay off the last of student debt so I can feel free of burden. $5,000 straight to meal-planning savings for a few months!! Not ideal, but realistic with current prices. Next, set aside $5,000 to go straight into my business fund- secure vendor slots, supplies, and prints so I can keep generating income, Then, invest into my home-- i live in a camper with my partner and our 4 cats. We could build a second space with just $500 ♡ EVENTUALLY purchase land for a community museum-park-studio
