ART is in my DNA, it’s who I am
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating texture using unconventional types of materials to create abstract art.
Where do you find inspiration?I have Parkinson’s , and I love all types of music. My inspiration I believe is a gift that flows from the heart and soul of who I am. Music allows for my mind and hands to work as one with God, my creator. I call him Dad, and my art becomes an expression of worship. I become free of the constraints of a broken body, and simply become one.
What would you do with $25,000?The $25,000 would be used exclusively to purchase supplies to continue creating art for as long as my body will allow.
