I’ve been creating since I could hold a pen. Art school, exhibitions, growth—creativity is part of me. I can’t imagine life without it.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love expressing myself through art in many forms—painting, jewelry, design. Creativity is how I think, feel, and connect with the world.
Where do you find inspiration?I create across painting, jewelry & design, inspired by nature, books, and people’s stories—blending it all through imagination.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest $25K into growing my kids’ perfume line—new scents, small-batch production, and retail partnerships—so I can keep creating with purpose.
