Art gets me through the hard times; living with stage 4 cancer needs some kind of outlet; art is mine.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Acrylics on canvas, including traditional Anishinaabe art and objects.
Where do you find inspiration?From my joy… and my pain.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my entire debt so that my family isn’t burdened with that when this cancer completes its mission. The remaining balance would go towards funding/operating a program that I’ve been working on that’s my ultimate goal of completing while I’m still here: “The Bird’s Nest Tiny Homes On Wheels” program, offering temporary, mobile housing (including safe places to park them) and providing services in order to help homeless people (and their pets) get back on their feet.
