Nature inspires me. My work is floral or animal. The subjects are found in the natural world but I exaggerate the color or a feature.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Realistic portraits of animals, people and plants. I love oil on canvas. I use acrylic on my murals and banners.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature and color. I love to look at nature when I draw or paint I like to be as real as possible but with a twist, I like to make things brighter and make the subject pop.
What would you do with $25,000?I would complete my masters degree so that I could teach college level art. I was unable to complete it before because of finance issues. I am currently teaching pre-K at a local public school.
