More than a buzzword used by crypto bros chasing Lambos, NFTs are a way for assets to be authenticated, bought, sold, and traded using a distributed blockchain. NFT is short for “non-fungible token” and simply means that when an asset (physical or digital) is minted to a blockchain, it’s assigned a one-of-a-kind token that renders it unique.
As of 2024, I mint limited editions of my physical paintings as NFTs on Cardano, one of the few blockchains truly dedicated to being sustainable, affordable, and decentralized. If you’re new to buying Cardano-based NFTs, this short video will help.
I’m a mixed media artist working in acrylic, oil pastel, and oil paint on canvas, paper, and found objects. I treat my physical artwork as “plates” for minting my NFT collections.
About 90% of what I release as limited edition NFT artwork starts off as a physical painting.
Depending on the size of a painting, my original plates range from $950 USD and up. If you see an artwork you’re interested in, send me a DM via Instagram to inquire about availability.
I write works of fiction and poetry about life and being queer. I was recently awarded Lit Cleveland’s Breakthrough Writing Residency as well as the Word for Word Scholarship for Inside Book Publishing. I’m currently working on an illustrated book of poetry that I plan to release as a limited edition Book.io project. Follow me on Instagram for updates.
I’m a Cleveland Ohio native who grew up in a family that places a high value on artistic expression. Being from that type of background, I’ve pretty much practiced art all of my life. I have a BFA in literature from Cleveland State University and I’ve sold my work to private collectors throughout the U.S.
My paintings often depict distorted human figures with missing or hidden faces. I sometimes feign that these figures represent repressed memories or hidden feelings, but that may not entirely be the case. Painting, as with all forms of creative expression, is a dream language to the artist, like automatic writing or intrusive thoughts.
I honestly don’t always know what the artwork is saying; only that it probably means something vaguely important. The work on this site will appeal to people who would rather have fantastic nightmares than monotonous dreams. I invite you to apply your own interpretations.
If you are interested in purchasing physical artwork, or for any other art related inquery, currently the best way to reach me is through Instagram. Just shoot me a DM.
