I enjoy creating art to keep the memories alive
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am an Oil painter. I paint from life experiences. I added two pieces that I am currently working on. The horses and the boxers. We lost 3 of the 4 in the last year. It has been a tough experience. Life sometimes test just how strong you really are.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration through everyday life. I paint my experiences from traveling across Canada, being in a rodeo in Alberta and the crowd is chanting Ontario because you are winning all the events, to the loss of my pets. I basically paint the moments that make my heart sing.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in a space where I could continue creating beautiful artworks. With a section where people could come in and visit my space and see my creations. As it currently sit in a pile in a basement.
