I create art to experience joy. The joy of color, sharing a feeling, escaping into my own sanctitude; outside, as one with nature.
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 very fond of Plein air using watercolor. I paint landscapes, florals, birds and am now trying animals in oils.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by the outdoors, from memories and from shared photos. I love to paint with a group of other artists who share experience, mentoring and encouragement because formal training has been unaffordable.
What would you do with $25,000?Set up my own studio at home. I would be able to continue to afford monthly fee at Art workshop in Mandan ND where I currently go to commune and paint with and learn from other artists.
