Creating art is my passion and calling. It keeps me grounded and is my connection to the divine, to a higher power, and my truest self.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Landscapes and flora — capturing the feeling and essence of being in and among them. Dreamy and soft, with depth and color that is both real and imagined.
Where do you find inspiration?In nature, and in the intimate spaces that are easy to overlook but quietly remarkable. Music moves me. So do empty places that still hold the feeling of people who were once there.
What would you do with $25,000?I would upgrade my studio — better storage, materials, and the equipment to make my own frames. I'd also take a trip or two to places that would deepen my painting experience and spark the next body of work. And I would seed something I've wanted to do for a long time: establish three annual scholarships for women at different stages of their creative lives, giving them the space and support to focus on their best work.
