I create art to battle anxiety and depression. It’s therapeutic for me.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Right now I love to paint animals. The world has so many creatures on Earth that I never run out of the subject.
Where do you find inspiration?My friend from Oklahoma asked me to paint two paintings for her two daughters. Each their favorite animal. One a cat and the other a giraffe. This inspired me to start painting.
What would you do with $25,000?Right now, I’m unemployed and understand what it’s like to struggle with severe depression. I thought maybe I should give it to the charity like Art of Elysium. I know it sounds corny and disingenuous, but I feel that sharing my art and story is the biggest reward because many people out there are struggling with mental health like me.
