I create art because it’s easy to put big emotions and ideas into paint strokes instead of words
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like using vibrant acrylic paints with brush strokes and blending with my fingers. I like creating art that represents a feeling in a single moment of time. Expressing femininity and sexuality with visuals that can’t be ignored.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people and their lives, in art on buildings (I’m from Brooklyn), in visuals I see while in deep meditation.
What would you do with $25,000?Start with paying bills, then expanding my outreach to viewers in order to create a larger fan base so that I can create new pieces for serious buyers. I’ve been wanting to create a gorgeous 30x40 but the materials are too expensive if I know it won’t be bought with my limited fan base.
