I create art because I’m not myself without it. It helps me connect. I love how it tethers all humans together.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to dip my toes into anything and everything, but if I have to pick, either bleach painting, block printing, or animation.
Where do you find inspiration?Music is a great source of inspiration for me. Poetry, especially lyrics, often bring ideas to mind. Film as well.
What would you do with $25,000?As a small artist currently struggling to make ends meet, this award would be life changing. It has always been a dream of mine to animate a short film. I would also love to be able to self publish a graphic novel. This money would help me turn these dreams into reality and finally get my head above water.
