Mis Who?
THE MISMIZERY STORY 🖤
Creation on my own terms. I am powerful. I am free. I'm MisMizery.
The art of MisMizery was born out of an obsessive dedication to escaping the confines of perfectionism (mostly self-inflicted) that also come with an award-winning 20+ year career in branding, graphic design and marketing. I challenge myself to create in a very free, unstructured, unplanned way and am teaching myself to accept my art for what it is.
My mantra when i approach a piece is this: "The way it is, is the way it's supposed to be".
Through my work, I advocate for acceptance in all its forms. It is equally important to me to try to break free from gender stereotypes in art; I'm embracing femininity in my own form by bringing to life darkness, power and freedom in my work.

WHY NFTS?
For many many years I daydreamed and plotted as to how I could break into the art scene. Fear and self doubt overtook me; the task seemed daunting and I constantly told myself i wasn't good enough. It was my belief that if i couldn't paint something as good as the Mona Lisa, that I wasn't worthy. It wasn't until I stumbled upon NFT artwork and the blockchain in 2019, that a path opened up for me. I could see a way for me to express myself and be accepted. It was here that I found my confidence, the tools and a supportive community that helped to put my vision into the world. It has been an interesting journey and I'm excited to say i have been a part of this historical time.

The MisMizery kingdom is ruled by the miserable heart symbol. Don't be fooled, it doesn't mean the work is miserable or the message is negative. I want my work to empower those who overthink things, who don't think they are good enough; you are. I want to encourage women to embrace whatever femininity means to them, in whatever form it might be. I also hope my work is a place where those who might need a boost of confidence, power, solitude, can go to find it.
There is beauty in darkness, you just have to know where to find it.
