Painting is the love of my life. I hope to one day be able to make it a full time career. I love to travel and take my own photos to paint.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I use watercolor and gouache to make landscapes and portraits. My goal is to convey emotion and I tend to lean towards an impressionist style.
Where do you find inspiration?I like to use my own photos for inspiration. I love painting nature and its beauty. It could be a puddle of leaves on a rainy day, a stunning sunset, or a field of flowers. I love finding the beauty in simple everyday things. I love color and light, the way they play together. The way you can depict a feeling with only what is around you as inspiration. A long term goal of mine is to use my art to assist humanity and the earth with healing and achieving peace and unity.
What would you do with $25,000?25,000 could be life changing for me…I would use it to jumpstart pursuing my passion and a career as an artist.
