2021 - 2022, Storm has dipped her toes into the NFT pool, personally and collaboratively minting pieces of her artwork digitally. This was not only a learning experience as Storm values physical art over digital, but a productive way to connect with new clientele.
"NFTs are certificates of authenticity for unique digital or physical assets. When you purchase an NFT, this grants you ownership in your virtual collection. NFT buyers are able to collect and re-sell with an extraordinary potential for growth. If an artist mints a specific image of work onto an NFT platform, this now turns artwork into a new product. Just like releasing an exclusive physical print, an NFT becomes a token of increasing value."

2021 - 2021
Minted NFTs
As NFT platforms technically evolved since 2021, artwork was minted on Kollect.me, Foundation, and OpenSea. The majority of these NFTs were individually minted by Storm and in collaboration with Pollinate NYC. In 2021, crypto currency was marketably high, bringing sales to Storm immediately. As an artist, she prefers physical art, but she was intrigued to use NFT minting as a networking strategy.
