Art is my passion. The best day in my life will be when I can support myself fully on my art. To create something from nothing is magic
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Abstract Realism is my favorite. I love breaking down objects that we are familiar with, break them down and rebuild something new.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in color theory. Certain colors and color combinations can bring a variety of emotions to the surface. Part of my commission process is deciding a color palette and completed pieces come with the color swatches to match the palette to allow you to paint your wall the same color as in the painting- which adds a whole new layer to the painting.
What would you do with $25,000?I currently build budget friendly paint parties to accommodate any desired painter to book a class of 5-30 for as little as $30/head. With 25k, I would be able to expand my business to offer more boutique and aesthetic classes by offering easles and aprons to my painters. The exposure could open me up to bigger projects and support my drive towards creating art for a living
