Sara Baumann is the artist and founder behind the Women and Weapons NFT collection. She dreamed of being a full-time artist since she was a young girl, but until NFTs, she worked as a full-time Occupational Therapist in the hospital system and sold her art on the side. Through the power of digital art, NFTs, and Web 3.0, she can finally pursue her dream of being a full-time artist.

Do you have to be an artist to enjoy creating? Do you have to have years of technical experience and education to be good at art? This week, Aly, a fierce lawyer who also happens to be my best friend, joins me on Miss Manda Live. We're used to seeing experienced, professional artists on this show, but I'm switching it up tonight. I'm interviewing and creating with my beautiful best friend who considers herself nearly anything BUT an artist. My hope is to show both her and our viewers that art and creativity are about so much more than just making pretty and/or meaningful things.

Bianca Montoya is a Puerto Rican artist and muralist based in Puerto Rico. Bianca has been transmitting the message of how important it is to embrace yourself through her project “Unusual Girls.” This project started in 2015 with the idea to promote women’s unique values and perspectives through fashion and eccentric glam. After more than 300 versions of physical artworks of Unusual Girls, it feels completely right to move into the digital space with a similar concept, but the same powerful message.
