Black Art Rising X Shaylin presented by LIFEWTR

In honor of Black History Month, LIFEWTR is celebrating Black Art Rising by commissioning a curated NFT collection created by incredible Black artists. Available exclusively on Nifty Gateway, there are two NFTs editioned at 50 apiece — one created and sold by multidisciplinary artist Julian Gilliam, and the other by surreal artist and graphic designer Shaylin Wallace. Both artists are emerging creators whose talents and innovative work are helping to shape the future of art by breaking the traditional boundaries of technology, collaboration, and creation.

Shaylin Wallace "Shay The Surrealist" is a 23-year old digital artist from Wilmington, Delaware. She specializes in creating surrealistic compositions by manipulating stock photos using Adobe Photoshop. As an artist, she strives to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, catching her audience’s attention with her surreal, yet so real masterpieces. Many of her works combine human figures or animals with nature. She loves to use objects such as trees, clouds, birds and smoke to symbolize growth, freedom, and different emotions in her pieces.
