I create art to heal myself and others. I draw portraits of children that have passed for grieving mothers, to heal their broken hearts.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy creating realistic portraits of people and animals, as well as abstract art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in God, and in the hope to heal others through my artwork.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to create an art shed where I can dedicate more time to creating artwork and healing others. I would also take my family on a vacation, and donate some of the money towards the local youth soccer club.
