Art is therapeutic for me. I love to create amazing things with my hands. I have a passion for Art & my work embraces all types of mediums.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
That is a very tough decision to make. I love doing all forms of art like nature photography, painting with watercolor, oil and acrylic. I enjoy sculpting with clay and wood. Wood burning art has been excited learning experience. I also love doing portrait artwork using color pencil, ink pen, marker, charcoal, graphite. I do mixed media often as well. I love all forms of these arts collectively and equally. There is not one that I like over the other. Art has been something I love since a kid.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in many things. Things that I feel or think about and like to express on paper or canvas. The experience of people whether it's love, joy, happiness, shame, anger or despair I like to express these emotions in art to get the point across. At times I include hidden images or messages in my work to make people think or open their mind up to see the hidden imagery. I like to create art that makes people feel things. Create a out of this world experience for viewers.
What would you do with $25,000?What I would do being granted the opportunity of a lifetime of being rewarded 25,000 dollars is to pour into my Art business that I have. I would invest in creating the proper space to create. I would use this opportunity to add fuel to the flames of my dreams and strive so much harder to get my art out there to be experienced all over the world. It has always been my dream to do that. I couldn't simply focus on my needs though. I would want to give back to the public by helping others as well.
