Art takes me away from the stressors of life. Art is a spiritual healing tool. I like feeling paint on my skin. It's fun!
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 fluid art lately. No 2 pieces are ever the same, the colours literally move right in front of you on the canvas. Looking at some of my paintings in a group can be hilarious, it's like finding images in clouds.
Where do you find inspiration?I started playing with paint in early recovery, about 3 years ago. I was in a very dark place, but more than anything I wanted to stay clean. When I realized I could create something beautiful out of my pain, it was very a very powerful healing tool.
What would you do with $25,000?I would build myself a portable studio. I don't have a place to paint so I paint in my kitchen. I have to pack everything up so I can also use my kitchen to make meals for my kids.
