I create art to express my inner feelings with the hope that others will see & feel something too. My artwork speaks for me when I can’t.
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 to create are stylized portraits that use vibrant acrylic paints, glitter, fabrics and rhinestones to enhance each painting I create.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mostly from just me navigating my life & watching other women navigate their lives. When I look at myself & other women from all over the world, I see absolute beauty. That inspires me to paint boldly and freely, to use my imagination and to keep painting no matter what. My artwork speaks not only for me but for others.
What would you do with $25,000?I would focus on my artwork, buy more supplies and most of all start my own business of selling my artwork. This opportunity would give me the safety net I need to leap & fully submerge myself into my dream life. I want to paint everyday & share my artwork with the world! I really want to inspire others to go for their dreams, explore their talents & hopefully they can inspire others as well.
