I create art to cope with Rheumatoid Arthritis, turning pain into something meaningful and sharing the healing it gives me.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create art that lives in real spaces restaurants, homes, daycares, bars not just canvases. I feel like it serves a purpose, it brings life, identity, and energy to a place.
Where do you find inspiration?From my rheumatoid arthritis journey
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, the first thing I would do is take my family on a getaway. As parents, we sacrifice so much of our time just trying to keep everything together, that we forget to just be with our kids. I’d want to pour into that time no stress, no distractions just making memories and being present with them. And continue pouring into what inspire me to keep going which is my art.
