Color is my savior, life is an art. It’s all I’ve ever known…
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create art that refuses to stay in one form. As lead artist at ZPOTS, I shape pottery that speaks~bold, tactile pieces layered with poetry and meaning. I paint with instinct and urgency, bringing unseen visions into the world, and write across mediums. Music fuels it all, adding rhythm, edge, and connection.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from what I feel deeply and can’t ignore~raw emotion, human connection, and the pull of ideas that demand to exist. I find it in movement, in collaboration, in nature, and in the quiet knowing that something powerful is waiting to be made.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would create the space~both physically and creatively~to make more art. I would invest in time, materials, and an environment that allows me to fully realize the visions I carry. This support would give me the freedom to deepen my practice across clay, painting, and music, and to bring work into the world that might otherwise remain unrealized.
