My parents encouragement from childhood is my first reason. Its my reminder that I think therefore I am. Creating is my superpower.
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 mixed media art, I believe one piece can have it all. Adding decopauge, physical items and even clay to a painting is so fun and makes for exciting art. I am a animation enthusiast, when drawing my style is cartoonist. My pieces come from song Lyrics, my dreams and life experience. I am heavily influenced by fantasy, world religions and folklore. I also love creating art in group settings its a great opportunity to connect and learn from others.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mainly in nature, books I read and cartoons, but it is not limited to that. Inspiration can come from anywhere at anytime. I've been inspired to paint after a conversation I had with a woman at a bus stop once. The magic serendipitous events that life offers make for the best inspiration.
What would you do with $25,000?The 25,000 would help secure my own art studio here in columbus ohio. Where I would be able to have a place with adequate working space. Also be hub for local artist to network and commune. I would invest alot into childrens workshops to encourage their budding artistic interest. The inner city needs a presence like the one I envision, the areas where local politics seen to fail when it comes to the basic needs of humanity. Everyone deserves a safe space to create and express themselves in.
