I create art to connect with people in a creative way and on an emotional level. I believe art connects people despite language or distance.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Professionally, I am a graphic designer. So I really enjoy all types of digital art and illustrations. As far as non-digital goes, my favorite is charcoal and acrylic paint.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly in nature. Living in Arizona, I love the varied landscapes, iconic geographic features; places like Red Mountain, the Superstition Mountains, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use part of the money to get the book that I am writing professionally edited and polished. Then I would use the rest to help pay off a chunk of our mortgage and take a much-needed vacation with my wife and daughter.
