You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Writing or storytelling. I have never expressed myself verbally very well. I am not a great oral storyteller. However, I always seem to be better at expressing my thoughts on paper than out loud. I have more control when I create worlds on paper than I do in real life.
Where do you find inspiration?My mom is my inspiration for everything creative. She encouraged me to pick up my first paint brush. She always supported my writing. She is in everything I create and inspires everything I have or will do.
What would you do with $25,000?I would split it up seven ways between: me, some people that have financially helped me out, my mom, and dad. It would be a way of thanking them for helping me out and to pay my mom and dad back.
