I create art because it is therapeutic for me. It allows me to incorporate aesthetics into my daily life, and to reflect on my origins.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create visual arts. It gives me an opportunity to exist in, and experience the world in different dimensions, lenses, and perspectives. I love color and collages. It also grants me a means of communication with my emotions, and with my students.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration at home, in every aspect of the word. I find it in nature in my front yard, and back yard. I find it in my family’s tree (our history). I find it at work with the kids I serve. And I find it in our worlds current events.
What would you do with $25,000?If I was to win the $25,000 I would buy a car so that I could drive to the relatives I meet via ancestry, nothing fancy. I just turned 35 and have yet to own a car but had my license forever. I love road trips and often find inspiration from my travels and nature. A car would grant me more access for exposure. I would also put money towards more art supplies, and my upcoming tuition for my masters.
