Creating art can speak the words that I cannot always convey, regarding what I am feeling & why. Creating universal connection to us all.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Realistically abstract art, is what I describe my art to be. I like to use pen or sharpie markers, so there is no way to erase. There are no mistakes in the journey of what you are feeling. Which I display in my creation, I start and continue until I finish, with no erasing, only creating movement, that is a conduit to display the raw emotions I am feeling. There are no mistakes in raw emotions. This also allows for others to explore their own journey start to finish while viewing my art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything & everyone that is around me. Everything is fair game. During my process I will have a blank page before me, I close my eyes meditate on that very moment & open up my consciousness to be a conduit for whatever needs to come out at that moment. Then I allow my hand, the pen or marker & the energy that I openly allowed in & let it take over & do what it’s going to do. Most times I do not have a plan or a vision I just let whatever comes through, to come through.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off the 6k in back taxes that I’m behind on. I inherited a generational home my great grandfather helped to build & I grew up on. If do not pay the back taxes off by sept 2026 the state of Wisconsin in Lincoln county will come & take the family farm. I have SLE Lupus & severe Crohn’s disease, hence why,I am behind on payments because of the unexpected nature of the flare ups that make me sick randomly. The rest of the money I would use to put into savings for Future taxes, to be safe
