Art has always been apart of my life! I truly cherish anything creative and want to share with the world the beautiful things I create.
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 integrative photography mixed with digital printing and finished rustic re-purposed art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in watching people do simple things in life. It’s like a movie unfolding the blessings we get too busy to see. I love seeing small business owners obtain their dreams. It helps me see I am so close to my own reality And, I just love watching birds. It helps me relax on a hard day, unwind and see new perspectives. There is beauty all around us and when I can be patient and take time to see it, it helps me focus on whats truly important in life and create better art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would give the first 5,000 to my mother. She has always been there for me, supporting me and helping me see the possibilities with my creativity. I would use the rest to open a creative boutique where I could work and sell my beautiful art. I would also love to open up some of the space to offer local artists the opportunity to sell their work. We can in fact help one another too!
