ARTIST REFLECTION:
My new art piece titled “Lady Liberty - Deep of the Night” was selected out of 500 artist works to be among the 88 for a daring and historical first ever NFT public auction event held in Penn Station in New York City for the next 4 days, Curated by Mogul of Art In Motion NYC in partnership with OpenSea. This is truly a super amazing opportunity for myself and the other artists, as well as future artist to be able to have our work gain exposure and an opportunity to showcase and sell our works. I also believe that NFT May very well become the superior copyright for the arts and entertainment industry empowering and protecting artist and their works. I am truly blessed and grateful to be part of this historical art event. The other amazing thing is that my goal to become an NFT artist came true! I wrote it in my journal and prayed about it May 11, 2021. Pretty cool huh? Well, as I expressed in my previous post, dreams come true far greater than we imagine and sometimes do not unfold in the way we plan. This is truly a blessing! God is faithful! Thank you Mogul and everyone who put this event together. It’s people like you who help prevent artist from starving! I feel like I am eating a feast lol! Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Katia-Ricciarelli V. Reed

FEATURED NEWS ARTICLE
Creative Process:
Lady Liberty started as a sketch in my sketch book which then I later painted digitally in Adobe Photoshop using my Wacom Intuos The flower petals seen in the finish art are real petals that I keep flattened between the pages of my sketch book. It took 2 thumbnails and a sketch to get to the finish. The inspiration is a simple one, New York City is the city of endless dreams and visionary frontiers. It is the cultural melting pot of the world. Everyone wants to come to America because it truly is the land of the freedom and great dreams. No matter the problems we may have in America, it is truly one of the greatest places to be on the face of this Earth. Never take your citizenship for granted because there are millions that dream of coming here and would love to change places with you. Use your freedom and dreams to impact the world. Rise up strong because we are strong People. Follow those beautiful dreams God put inside your heart to do. Nurture the gifts and talents he blessed you with. Use your privilege and freedom to a positive change. Make your mark! Thats what inspired this piece.
Sincerely, Katia

NOVEMBER 2021 UPDATE: AUCTION RESULTS
The auction was an amazing experience. The highest bidder for my piece was at $758.59. However, the Reserve price was not met by the time the auction finished. A a result, the piece is now up for secondary sale available for purchase. In the secondary sale both the Artist being "Myself" and the Curator being "Mogel" of Art in Motion receive 5% of the sale. I do hope it sells. Regardless through this experience no matter if my piece sells or not, showed me its potential of how much a collector would be willing to pay for it. Its truly a blessing to know. I will most certainly be working to get more of my art into the NFT world.
Sincerely,
Katia
