Art is my therapy, my release. Before I made any money off of it, before I was any good at all with it, it was my solace.
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 all types of art from painting to martial arts, but I am a carver to the bone. My grandpa was a carpenter, my mother is a woodworker, and that same blood seems to course through my veins. I never really was great at any one type of media. But 7 years into this obsession as a carver, I think I have found my niche.
Where do you find inspiration?I find this inspiration in the trials and tribulations in life. My life has always been difficult, but worth it. Like I've always said, the universe will only give you as much shit as you are strong enough to take.
What would you do with $25,000?With that kind of money, I would first buy my beautiful mom a very large yet quaint turquoise necklace. After that, I'd use it to acquire all the tools I've always wanted and needed, as well as wood,paint, ect. Everything I need to continue to make beautiful works of art. I would also invest in equipment to set up social media pages to promote my art. I would get an Etsy or Shopify, something like that so I could ship my art to the masses and establish my art as a proper business.
