I create to tell stories. I look forward to projects that allow me the freedom to talk about where I’m from, and what I’ve been through.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Thought provoking art… Things that mae the viewer ask questions & think…
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my past, present, & future… I look around me & see things that are new to me but old to where I’m from. Those are different things.
What would you do with $25,000?Travel to get more inspiration & finally get some of the paint supplies that are out of my range right now… I would also be able to find a space to paint in for a year or so. I would love to visit an artist retreat & vibe with other artists as well. That is another thing that I believe would further my inspiration.
