I create Art as a way of helping my PTSD. As a war veteran I have seen a lot of negative things. As an artist I focus on the positive.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art is illusion, followed by abstract, and finally nature. Anything positive, upbeat, and vibrant are a big part of my art taste.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from nature, my kids, my friends, and pets. My military background is part of my inspiration as well. I will let the colors do the talking for me no matter what the media.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000 I would replace all of the floors in my house. Whatever was left i would put it aside for my daughter.
