I create art to visually represent my experience with the world. I love messy lines and imperfections.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Mixed media and sketches. I love to experiment on paper with pens and pencils. I add highlights or interesting textures with acrylic paints.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the media around me most frequently. I love to find inspiration in nature as well. Sometimes there's something beautiful that already exists and the feeling it gives me needs to be documented in the form of a drawing or painting.
What would you do with $25,000?I think I'm supposed to say something dramatic or fantastical. It would go towards college tuition. I've been a camp counselor for 5 years now and I love to teach kids and help them grow in confidence. I want to expand on my love of helping others by becoming an occupational therapist.
