I enjoy writing because it gives my heart a voice, turning life, pain, and hope into words that can reach, move and heal others.
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 art to create is writing. Through words, I’m able to tell stories, share hope, encourage others, and turn real-life experiences into something meaningful that can inspire and uplift people. Writing allows me to connect deeply with others and use creativity to bring healing, faith, and truth to life.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw my inspiration from my faith, real-life experiences, and the stories of the people around me. Life’s challenges, growth, healing, and the hope found in God’s word all inspire me to write in a way that encourages and connects with others.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were awarded the $25,000, I would donate a percentage to my church and use the remaining funds to start a college fund for my son, investing in both my faith community and my child’s future.
