After the Closures: Where Art NFTs Actually Stand NowOver the past months, several NFT platforms have announced their closure or slow wind-down. This week, I personally withdrew my remaining NFTs from Nifty Gateway and I’m currently in the process of wrapping up with Rodeo. When platforms shut down, the immediate reaction is panic, followed by declarations that “NFTs are dead.” That reaction usually comes from the same place that fueled the hype in the first place: a focus on platforms, liqui...

Not as a meme — as a marker. A shorthand for institutional canonization. The moment digital-native art stops being “observed” and starts being historicized. That moment is no longer theoretical. MoMA has acquired 8 CryptoPunks and a complete set of 8 Chromie Squiggles for its permanent collection. Let that land.

I started on Twitter (now X) in mid-2021, full of fire and connection. It was a time when Web3 felt alive — artists supporting artists, collectors celebrating creativity, and the digital art world expanding at light speed. I spent years building my presence there, one authentic interaction at a time. Last I checked, I sold around 40 ETH worth of art and spent about 50 ETH collecting from others. It was more than a marketplace — it was a living ecosystem of creativity and reciprocity.Compiled ...

Coming from the traditional art world, my instinct was simple: a 1/1 equals the original artwork, ERC-721s are numbered editions, and ERC-1155s are open editions. Clean, familiar, straightforward. But then I read this post by @thepropgallery that made me pause: every piece of digital art is a 1/1. Editions are just that 1/1, split into however many pieces you decide.

I didn’t grow up with crypto. I grew up with oil paint. For 25 years, I worked in the traditional art world. That meant building a clientele, selling work, and (let’s be honest) creating what people would actually buy. Landscapes, tourist-friendly scenes, art that “fit” into homes. I wasn’t faking it — but I wasn’t fully free either. The only time I broke away from that cycle was a big project called Like a Girl, Dare to Dream. It was about empowerment, representation, impact. It got attentio...

One of my traditional oil paintings, Rainbow Row at Night, just showed up in a $7M historic mansion in Charleston—and quickly went viral across Zillow Gone Wild, HGTV, and even the printed pages of The Post & Courier.Instagram Viral post by Zillow Gone WildIt was a surreal moment. Not just because my work was featured in national media—but because I wasn’t credited anywhere. This painting was originally collected during my time as a resident artist in Charleston and shown at the Piccolo Spole...

A few years ago, during Pride Month, I was exhibiting at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. I added a small LGBTQ+ flag to my booth—a quiet symbol of identity and support. The response was immediate: people who had been interested in my work suddenly turned away. Silent rejection, subtle but unmistakable. As a woman and as an artist, I already felt overlooked in that environment. I hadn’t yet come out locally as bisexual, though I’ve known this about myself since my t...

An Artist’s Life – A Drop That Puts You Inside the Creative Process. Most artists can’t “just create” without sales—we depend on the market to survive. This drop reflects that reality, inviting collectors to be part of the journey. 🔹 Phase 1: Collect the Genesis Sketch & submit input 🔹 Phase 2: Unique animated sketches—you pin the final phase 🔹 Phase 3: The final 1/1 masterpiece auction Be part of the story.

For the past three years, I’ve been asked countless times to share my knowledge, insights, and creative process with others. During this time, I’ve hosted weekly talks and informal mentoring sessions, connecting with artists and collectors on a personal level. The experience has been rewarding, and I realized there was a genuine need for deeper guidance and interaction. That’s why I decided to turn this passion into a formal business model—offering an exclusive art subscription that brings to...
