I have always been able to express myself through art and it was a way of sharing with others what was on my mind and in my heart.
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 photography, acrylic painting, and working on electronic formats such as Photoshop and Adobe for logos and re-rendering my own photos for other forms of art. This allows even more forms and reproduction for all mediums.
Where do you find inspiration?I sometimes find it hard to get time to indulge in the art, but my inspiration comes in all forms, but mainly nature. I love sunsets, sunrises and the beauty in all animals. It is amazing the things that are overlooked that make the most profound art glorious.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put the money into an "Art-for-Heart" study for a capstone as an occupational therapist doctoral student to help those who have fallen into a state of anguish learn to love their own creativity and blossom from an ailment that doesn't has to define them, such as autism, depression, post-stroke anxiety, limb loss, or other sensory issues. I also want to help with elderly balance issues as that is another community study I want to initiate. But the "Art-for-Heart" is tops.
