I create art because of my wonderment in every living thing I see. Art calms my mind & soul; I am at peace yet also feel accomplished.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Realism is my artistic foundation and deepest expertise, yet I’m constantly drawn to experimenting with new styles, forms, and mediums.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from the world around me—especially the people closest to my heart. I’m endlessly fascinated by other artists’ work, and I love how their creativity and originality spark new ideas in my own practice.
What would you do with $25,000?First and foremost, I’d pay off bills and ease the financial pressure we’re under. Despite working full time, the cost of living has made it incredibly difficult to get ahead. Beyond that, I’d take a well-deserved vacation with my daughter and start a savings account for her future.
