I create art intuitively. No two pieces are the same. I begin by quieting my mind and meditating, to become a conduit for abstract shapes.
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 type of art medium is pen and paper. I enjoy drawing with pen because it is permanent and bold. I am not intimidated by it. I have complete faith in myself as an artist knowing that what I draw is an expression of the Divine moving through my hands.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by intuition. The quiet calm, the gentle guidance of a higher power that shows me how every line has a purpose and is part of a larger collective.
What would you do with $25,000?The $25,000 is not the main motivation for my entry. I entered my work to share it with the world and to be part of a creative community. I find this to be an opportunity to grow and connect with others through my art.
