i have been drawing for as long as i can remember. it is my biggest outlet and one of my best skills (at least i think so!)
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
mostly ink illustrations but i also enjoy painting portraits with acrylic. i’ve had a lot of practice with watercolor in the past but i haven’t practiced that in a long time
Where do you find inspiration?i take inspiration from francis bacon and frida khalo, but i base my paintings off of my emotions and life events. i draw dragons mostly because i see them as a beacon of strength but also as an expression of imagination.
What would you do with $25,000?i would use it to pay for my schooling. i am currently a junior in college at the university of houston studying political science. i use financial aid and work to support myself solely. i have always wanted to showcase or sell my art but i have had trouble/uncertainty getting it out there…. i can do so much with this program given the opportunity, and i appreciate all of the consideration!!!
