The other art fair Sydney

I have just returned from exhibiting at The Other Art Fair in Sydney where I showcased my mixed media monoprints. It was a wonderful experience and I have learnt heaps and made some wonderful friends. I am grateful for all of the people who stopped by my booth and took an interest in my work and those of you who bought work. May it bring you many years of joy.

A huge thankyou to the artist friends I made a long the way and the organisers of the show that made it run smoothly. Last but not least a huge shout out to my husband who was my trusty gofer, handyman and all round supporter. Love you right up to the sky and beyond.

Nothing is as simple as it seems.

So… perhaps I was a little naive but I truly thought becoming a digital NFT artist was a straightforward process . Clint seemed to make it sound simple. “Cath” he said “just set up a digital wallet, sign up to a currency exchange platform, open an Opensea account and then mint an NFT”. How hard could that be.

Well after many stops and starts , I have done all of the above except mint the NFT. Why haven’t I taken the most crucial step you might ask? Well because of a number of reasons which I won’t bore you with but the biggest one is that I am terrified of losing money I don’t have in gas fees and currency exchange and in NOT KNOWING what the hell I am doing. So I am reading article after article and freezing in place. Not sure how to move out of this space, I only know I want to. I never thought of myself as risk adverse until now, but I must admit it’s true. I am scared of not knowing what I do not know.
