Creating my art allows me to appreciate the inspiration that this world and the people in it give me!
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 creating sound with my Bass guitar and writing music with my band and friends. What really is a great escape is the visual art I create with just me, my brain and my hands! I enjoy screen printing and painting the most. Glass blowing is also up there.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the underdog. Whether it’s my pain or someone else’s, I empathize with people most marginalized. I want people to understand we are all the same and each have a unique voice. I’m inspired by travel. I’m inspired by seeing young people coming into their own. I’m inspired by the memories of my family reunions. I’m Inspired by Mad Magazine. Garbage pail kids and Mark Mothersbaugh.
What would you do with $25,000?I would quit my job and travel with my son. When I run out of money I would go back home and beg for my job!!!
