#The7LoveStories’s Illustrator: Megan Morrow
Collecting literary art through NFTs offers...an emotional depth not found anywhere else.
Hello, Dear Readers! I’m Rionna Morgan, author of The 7 Love Stories. Together with artists Steph Rapo, KGKH Art™, Megan Morrow, and Grace Lovart, we have created this dynamic LiteraryNFT collection, set to be released early 2023! The 7 Love Stories collaboration team is so very dear to my heart. I feel incredibly lucky to have found four talented, beautiful women artists to illustrate the stories I wrote for you. We set out with one goal: build with love, share with love, create with love.
I recently had a chance to talk with Megan Morrow, one of our four illustrators, and interview her a bit for this article. I want to share with you her journey — how she came to the NFT Community, her life as an artist, what advice she would give to others following a similar path, and her thoughts on The 7 Love Stories themselves.
Rionna: What has drawn you to the NFT Community?
Megan: I was immediately drawn to the NFT community as a photographer and artist. It’s a creative environment. The inspiring experience of being able to provide support for everyone involved while also having the capacity to share digital art and photography was truly remarkable. Seeing what people are creating and how people interact with each other in various ways was a joy to witness. From a purely artistic standpoint, this community’s support is priceless and has become a part of my life.
Rionna: As an artist, in what medium do you generally create?
Megan: I am a digital artist and photographer passionate about utilizing the most advanced technologies to expand my creativity further. As a photographer, I’ve also been experimenting with how AI can enhance my work by intelligently applying effects and adjustments. I can make my photos more vibrant, bring out hidden details, and surprise my holders.
Rionna: What key events stand out for you in your artist journey?
Megan L: Participating in the @TIMEPieces Reimagined contest was an amazing experience for me. Through the contest, I was able to surround myself with so many talented photographers and artists who shared my similar passions and ideas. We were able to come together and help each other in various ways, resulting in a positive, encouraging, and creative atmosphere. Having my photography displayed in the Timepieces @Blackdoveart gallery in Miami was so incredible! Being supported is such a wonderful experience as an artist and is a dream come true. In addition to these life-changing experiences, I have worked with different NFT projects making art and animations. I have been hired for marketing projects in the space as well. I continue to build my community every day, engaging and supporting others — leading with positivity in the space.
Rionna: The 7 Love Stories is a Literary NFT- what sets it apart from other NFT projects?
Megan: The 7 Love Stories integrates the innovation of NFTs with the enjoyment of literature, art, and the added dimension of sound. This form of creation adds an extra layer of marvel and charm to the reading and collecting aspect of the NFT, making for a unique and truly memorable experience. Not only does the innovative use of NFTs open new possibilities for the enjoyment of literature and art, but it also allows readers to see the stories in a completely new way. Collecting literary art through NFTs is now an experience that offers both convenience and an emotional depth not found anywhere else.
Rionna: What are you most excited about in regard to The 7 Love Stories?
Megan: After months of hard work, I am excited to be part of The 7 Love Stories release! As an artist, the ability to share meaningful stories through art is a passion that I value most. The diverse interpretations that come through in The 7 Love Stories art pieces have always inspired me, and it’s my greatest joy to create alongside other artists who share this same energy. I can’t wait!
Rionna: Where else can we view your work?
Megan: My passion for art and photography has been brought to life through the many online marketplaces: https://linktr.ee/meganmorrow
I consider each shot of mine a piece of art, preserving the beauty of nature and wildlife in its purest form.
Rionna: What two pieces of advice would you give to someone who is looking to join the NFT Community?
Megan: I suggest making genuine connections if you want to join the NFT community. Take your time and get to know the people in the community who have something of value to offer. Take your time and connect with those passionate about their work. Enjoy your journey!
Rionna: What else would you like for your audience and supporters to know?
Megan: Living in the Mark Twain National Forest is an absolute dream. As an avid Nature Lover and Nature Photographer, I am constantly inspired by the unique and wild forest around me. There are also many tracks of land where I can sit quietly at sunrise and watch animals move around me in their natural environment. No matter the season or where I look here in the Forest, there’s something new and magical waiting to be discovered by me.
