I create to foster communication about art, fashion, and alchemy. Creating using metal lends a permanence to the work that I enjoy.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I design and create by hand, sculptural forms for small spaces and distinctive jewelry to last a lifetime.
Where do you find inspiration?I am always looking for interesting uses of ordinary materials. Inspiration is in everything I see, hear, read, and experience. I find inspiration and joy in my own brain and its ability to transform input into artistic reality.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to share the experience of making with students. This would help fund the tools needed for introductory classes. I want to design classes so that young and old can experience working in small Metals.
