I love creating art because it brings me a deep sense of calm in a world that often feels overwhelming and chaotic.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Art has always been a huge part of who I am, and while I love creating all kinds of pieces, my hand painted mandala art is by far where my heart truly lies. There’s something so calming and meaningful about each dot, each pattern, and each design coming together to create something beautiful.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration for my art comes from both the world around me and within me. Nature, everyday patterns, and other artists can spark ideas, while my emotions and experiences give them meaning. Music, quiet moments, and simple prompts can help creativity flow. Even my past work can inspire new designs.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest some back into myself with more art supplies and better storage so I can keep creating and growing my business. Most of it, though, would be saved for my family’s future—for the things they may want or need down the road. Taking care of my family will always come first.
