I love creating art to give it to people and make them happy. Helping someone find a reason to smile is something I have always enjoyed.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy working with every medium but if I had to choose a favorite type of art to create it would be ceramics and geometric, abstract paintings. On a canvas I love combining colors and shapes to create structured chaos. There is balance and control in the process and while each line is intentional, I am often surprised with how the colors interact once it's finished.
Where do you find inspiration?My sons have been my greatest teachers. When they laugh, I don’t just see a smile, I notice the brightness in their eyes, the redness of their freckled cheeks, the subtle lift of their ears. What once felt like a simple joke now feels like a gift, their way of sharing how they see the world. In those fleeting exchanges I find my greatest inspiration, and a reminder that life’s essence often lies in the in between, not the grand gestures.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would buy a camera, and a house for my family with a garage for my studio space. My dream as an artist is to have the space and materials to explore creatively and pursue my passion for ceramics, painting, and photography.
