My journey started long before I knew the term
NFT.
70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event al least once in their lives. That's 223.4 million people.
I cope with trauma by focusing on things outside of myself. I am often drawn to nature and I love capturing its beauty. Until I discovered NFTs, I had no way of showcasing my passion to the world in a meaningful way.
Discovering web3 provided a framework through which my passion could thrive. I was encouraged and inspired to share my little beauties with the world as NFTs in hopes of sparking joy in others. My genesis collection, My Beautiful Flowers is an attempt at human connection and expression on a deeper level during a very isolating and traumatic time in our collective lives.
By showcasing nature's beauty in unique and surprising ways, I hope to spread joy. I will continue sharing my vision for a beautiful life through current and future collections as exclusive 1 of 1 digital collectibles. It aim to brighten souls, inspire the mind and bring real world beauty to my web3 community.
