I create art to capture real moments with intention—turning fleeting emotion into something timeless, honest, and beautifully seen.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m most drawn to creating editorial, story-driven imagery, where real moments meet intention. I love blending candid emotion with subtle direction to create work that feels both honest and elevated, like something you could see in a magazine but still recognize as deeply real.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday moments like light hitting a room just right, the way people move when they feel comfortable, the quiet in-between interactions. I’m also deeply inspired by fashion editorials, film, and storytelling…anything that captures emotion with intention and depth.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in growing my art with more intention—upgrading equipment, creating personal work, and building projects that tell deeper stories. As a mother to an autistic daughter, this support would also give me more stability and flexibility to show up fully for her while continuing to create. It’s not just an investment in my work, but in a life where art and care can exist side by side.
