Art lets me be me at the same time lets people know who I am and the way my brain works.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite form of creating is to bind/fuse different colors of crushed glass to make trees that I used to climb when I was a boy growing up in my neighborhood.
Where do you find inspiration?Usually comes at night while trying to go to sleep. Then of course can’t go to sleep until I at lease get one started
What would you do with $25,000?I would certainly invest in more glass. Donate to the Hart Gallery in Chattanooga Tn. Purchase more silver which helps me run it through my hands which helps with my inspiration.
