I love to create art because it allows me to express what words can’t and to help others feel seen, understood, and connected.
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 art that tells a story. I prefer working with acrylic paint, but I’ve also developed a love for photography, digital, wearable, and functional art.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw my inspiration from my life experiences and my faith. I’m also inspired by the growth and healing that comes from those experiences as well as culture, community, and by my desire to create work that feels meaningful.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in growing my art into two faith-based businesses (given to me by God) that create meaningful products that inspire and uplift others. I would also use it to fund my first solo art show, creating a space for healing and connection for myself and others.
