Join me over on Makersplace as I celebrate being approved and onboarded as a creator!  I'll be minting one new piece each day for a week to give you all a chance to snag a piece of this project right as it's released. You can find more information about my project and it's purpose below! A little over a year ago, I moved across the United States to Colorado. I had never been in the state before, but was in search of an adventure after meeting my partner and finishing college. With us being teachers, we are so lucky to be able to spend our work time bringing the industries of the new age to our youth.As educators, we see NFTs as another industry that our youth will get behind whether society likes it or not. This is our main reason for starting this project, to help facilitate the learning about the blockchain through NFT's in an educational setting.In our free time, we hike, ski, and bike outdoor on a regular basis. The sights that Colorado contains are simply unimaginable. Over our entire time here, we've been collecting photographic memories of the mountains, valleys, canyons, and lakes we've seen.As someone passionate about Romantic and Impressionist art, and trained as a classical pianist, I try to bring those elements of art to life the through digital illustration of the landscapes that surround me. My goal as a creator is to be able to purchase a set of VR headsets for my classroom and to bring my students into the metaverse and help them gain more agency over their financial and artistic futures!  VR Headsets also can function as a bridge for students students to learn crucial life and work skills that may otherwise struggle with easing into those concepts.
