I create daily art to capture each day’s energy and memory, freezing moments that only happen once in a lifetime.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m drawn to expressive portrait work pieces that capture emotion, energy, and the subtle shifts within a person. My work is experimental, often exploring different moods, textures, and states of being. Each piece becomes a reflection of a moment less about perfection, more about truth. I’m interested in what’s felt but not always seen, and translating that into something visual and lasting.
Where do you find inspiration?In everyday life. In conversations, silence, movement, and stillness. I’m inspired by the emotions we carry, the moments we overlook, and the idea that each day holds something unique that will never return. There’s inspiration in people, in energy, in time passing. I pay attention to those subtle shifts and translate them into something visible.
What would you do with $25,000?I would expand my daily art practice and use it to support kids in Africa with art supplies and access, helping bring their unique perspective and light into the world.
