I am a multimedia artist, I've always loved creating and experimenting with different mediums. Art has always been my outlet.
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 nature, the sky, and landscapes. Specifically ones having to do with mountains, the mountains and forest bring me peace and remind me of adventure. I have the most fun experimenting with colors and textures. I play with a variety of mediums such as ink, acrylic paint, paint marker, digital, oil pastels, colored pencil, marker, and gouache paint. I also like take pictures of what I see around me in day to day life, I challenge myself to draw or paint it. Creating is my passion.
Where do you find inspiration?I've experienced a lot of obstacles in my life, my creating has always helped relieve any negative or positive feelings, it's is part of who I am. I find it in everyday life, it helps me find beauty no matter the situation. If it's negative it's a release. I'm very confident and passionate about what I create because I put my heart into each and every piece I make.
What would you do with $25,000?My family would be my priority, more art supplies, I'd love to work towards selling art. But honestly just take this as a learning opportunity and having the chance to be thankful that I did and tried this.
