I create to navigate life’s challenges by turning nothing into something, it’s my way of showing everything has value in the right hands.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m most passionate about creating visual art that blends different textures; using everything from the delicate layers of soft pastels and chalk to the bold finish of acrylic paints.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in Jesus Christ. A lot of my paintings have scriptures attached to them. There are so many examples in the Bible where God did so much with very little.
What would you do with $25,000?This $25,000 is about planting seeds for the future. Half i would gift to my children's trusts, and the rest would be a gift to our city, by opening an Art gallery in the heart of our Bronzeville neighborhood in Milwaukee Wi. I would create a dedicated space where local artists can truly Thrive.
