I create art when my soul and heart need it. The process of creation for me its a type of meditation, my special time between me and world.
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 expressive, emotion-driven paintings. I’m drawn to observing people - their emotions, hidden layers, and unspoken boundaries, and translating that into my own visual language.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people. In their emotions, silence, and what they choose not to show. I see beyond the surface - through my own lens and capture those inner stories on canvas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in travel, as new places deeply inspire my work. Part would support my artistic growth, and part would go toward helping women through my work in medical art restoring confidence after breast cancer.
