I love creating art because it helps me express things I can’t always put into words. It makes me feel connected, creative, and alive.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like creating still life art because I’m inspired by colors, shapes, and the mood everyday objects can create together. I enjoy using color to bring simple things to life and make them feel expressive and meaningful.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in emotions, quiet moments, and the way colors can change the feeling of a simple object or space.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning $25,000 would allow me to invest in training, materials, and community-based art therapy initiatives that make art more accessible as a tool for emotional wellness and self-expression. As an art therapist I want to use art not only for creativity, but also to help people heal emotionally and feel understood.
