I love to make art because it is the one beautiful thing that lasts through all of time; I create art to help process emotions
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Mixed acrylic and oils from intuitive guidance for healing and creating meaningful chapters in my life and the lives of others
Where do you find inspiration?From nature; I also visit museums and look at other artists works and feel the feelings. I love color. I love painting near the ocean.
What would you do with $25,000?I own a small art and healing center in Thousand Oaks. It would help keep the doors open to help and serve others. I would continue therapeutic art sessions with people in trauma. I opened in response to the Borderline shootings and the Woolsey fires which happened in one week in Thousand Oaks. I have been serving a community in ( Grief ) and assisting with Art for seven years much at my expense. The 25,000 would really help me relax into keeping the doors open and service.
