I find my mother in the mother of all things, nature. Grief from loss never leaves us, it transforms 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 broken heart finds healing in mother nature's hidden treasures. These captive scenes complete me somehow. Through my photography, one might hear the subtle whispers of hope, faith, love, and compassion that nature speaks as nourishment for the soul.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration may be found in unexpected places, appearing as a surprising gift like a hidden treasure, after a bout with pushing through hard emotions. I connect with the energy around me respecting life in all forms as each performs its purpose. As a peaceful observer, I am often rewarded.
What would you do with $25,000?The reward would be transforming for my personal growth as an artist providing a launch pad to upgrade to gallery quality photography creating a consistent theme for public viewing with a goal to reach and inspire the broken hearted and help them find hope and restore faith through nature photography. The reward would be instrumental covering core equipment, prints, framing, professional marketing collateral, and exhibition fees to develop a presence for community engagement.
