Art lets me be me! It’s where I build my peace and find a hallow health that feels both grounded and authentically mine.
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 art to create is whatever is inspiring me at the moment sometimes painting sometimes poetry, symptoms photography, anything creative!
Where do you find inspiration?In everything! I find inspiration in nature, animals, insects, people, and my spirituality with God. Art is where I get lost in the colors and find my peace.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning $25,000 would be life-changing, allowing me to provide safe, reliable transportation for myself and my developmentally disabled daughter. Having a dependable car is about more than just travel; it’s about the peace of mind and security we need to navigate our daily lives. This prize would remove a massive weight from our shoulders, giving us the stability to focus on our growth and future. It would be a bridge to a more secure, peaceful life for both of us.
