When I’m creating art it’s the only time I feel comfortable enough to be my true self and brave enough to be seen.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Ceramic and wood sculptures.
Where do you find inspiration?Mythology, music, history, people and everything that encompasses the experience of what it means to be human.
What would you do with $25,000?In a dream world I would have the space invest in in-home studio equipment. Take a month off of work from at least one job. Work on a series of ceramic sculptures, then attempt to display my artwork in a show. In reality I will buy quality art supplies including a lot of clay. A wagon to help me carry my stuff to class. Tires on my car and a much needed tune up. A laptop to help finish my degree. And if there’s anything left I will squirrel it away for the dream of my own home and studio.
