Art is life. Art reveals my mind and soul for the world to see. Art is my therapy.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I have created (or was a part of) many types of art. From sewing and crocheting, to photography and painting, creating is an essential part of who I am. My favorite type of art is assemblage sculpture that represents what a person is "made of." I use wig head stands and create a sculpture of a person. I assemble the head with items that represent who they are and what they love. I also plan on making it a part of my future Art Therapy practice. I am currently attending college for Art Therapy.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from music, movies, nature, both flora and fauna, family and emotions. I love to see a person grow in their life, mentally and emotionally. I also love to see free and open minded people sharing their creativity. Inspiration can come from anywhere.
What would you do with $25,000?As I am currently in college for Art Therapy, I would either apply it to my Master's Degree pursuit or I would make more art!
