I love how creating art provides a way for me to outwardly express my artistic vision and gives me a voice to speak my truth to the world.
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 that I get the most satisfaction and joy from creating has to be my love of breathing new life into old and eclectic items from times past. Giving new purpose to something that society had otherwise deemed no longer relevant I feel has value that can continue to bring light into these dark times.
Where do you find inspiration?I find that my inspiration has always come from an inner source or voice that is fueled by all the pain, the struggle, my compassion for the world around me and the emotions compelling me to make a change.
What would you do with $25,000?I wouldn’t waste any more time thinking on the matter. I plan to use the winnings to open a rescue and rehabilitation center for horses as well as a wide range of other abused or displaced animals in need of a safe space. I feel drawn to give back to the world through acts of service as my way of balancing the cosmic scales of light and dark.
