Creating art is therapeutic. Learning multiple styles of art gives me more ways to bring joy to myself and also others who need it as well.
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 is anything with my hands. Specifically pencil sketching and painting.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mainly off of my own likes and feelings. Wanting to figure out how to get emotion and visions onto a page. Wanting to show energy or a story through a picture.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest into my art and other artists. This is not an easy field to be in but being able to support one another is a great way to grow and stay confident in what we do. If I could teach others how to express themself in a more positive and creative way I would be so happy. This world needs more artists.
