I create art because it frees me from everyday life. I’ve always been drawn to artists that can create art from scrap metal and I can too!!!
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 type of art to create is of animals. Nature is just amazing and I love to make what someone would throw away into something beautiful that can be appreciated for years to come!
Where do you find inspiration?I’m really good at visualizing what a piece of metal can be turned into just by looking at it. I’ve always had the gift of seeing what something can become without needing any instructions on how to make it.
What would you do with $25,000?I would upgrade my current welding shop to accommodate for more space for my equipment and to have the room to create bigger sculptures in. After that I’d definitely want to upgrade a few of my machines so I can be more efficient and productive in making my art.
