I love to create art to try and showcase the beauty that is all around us.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of art to create would be good old fashioned sketches. I like to draw out my art with pencil first and then complete the pieces with fine point sharpie markers. I also enjoy photography and painting.
Where do you find inspiration?I am from Newfoundland, I find my inspiration by our province’s shoreline, architecture and rugged history. The colourful homes, fishing stages, and traditional Newfoundland outport architecture inspire me to sketch. Through photography and artistic projects, I enjoy celebrating Newfoundland’s heritage and everyday life.
What would you do with $25,000?I would help out my family, move to Twillingate and possibly start my own business, art and supply store or a garden centre-which is my other passion in life. 🌷
