I show who I truly am through my paintings, using my heart and soul in every piece.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of art to create is the acrylic painting of wildlife. Animals are no different than humans. They have personality, emotions, and a soul just like we do. Their fur allows me to show my attention to detail, with every stroke of hair. Their eyes allow me to not only open up their soul, but allow me to show my true emotions.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through living in the present moment every day. By doing this, it slows, almost stops the thought process and opens up my senses. Another source of inspiration is my fur baby Piper. She brings life to a snails pace for me, just by looking at her ?❤️.
What would you do with $25,000?What I would do with $25,000… my dog is the love of my life. Her name is Piper and she is an elder dog. I want to make sure that she lives out the rest of her life as comfortable as possible. I would also like to get my artwork into markets I currently can’t afford to do.
