I returned to art after years away from it. Now it’s therapy. I have found community, patrons, and fulfillment through challenging myself.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to paint portraits and unique stories Norman Rockwell style by painting people in interesting situations. Fan/pop art was my training but soon I’ll be moving into my own ideas and compositions as I fine tune my oil and watercolor skills. Excited for what the future may hold.
Where do you find inspiration?Movies, Television, Horror Genres, and other artists I greatly admire - that was how it started. Now, it is simply the joy of creativity. The joy of painting, as one famous artist elegantly put it. I’m excited to get all the weird that’s swimming around in my brain onto a canvas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would go see a movie, go buy a coffee and a burger maybe, and then funnel the rest toward my burgeoning art business.
