I love to create art because it takes me into a different space. Its extremely rewarding to see my creations brought to life
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 a fibre artist, I love creating tufted rugs and tufted wall Art. I also occasionally create up-cycled art clothing pieces.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in a lot of aspects of my life. Everyday life, loved ones, arts, media etc.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000 I would put it towards my rug tufting business, I would purchase my own tufting gun (currently using a lent one) and all the materials needed to make it a real business. I would also hope to start a class where I can teach others to tuft and work with different textiles.
