About Mal | My Site

My real name is Malissa, and at present, I am 33 years old. My current place of residence is Vancouver Island, situated in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. Over a decade ago, I made the decision to relocate to British Columbia in order to join my life partner. I moved from a large city in southwestern Ontario, where I enjoyed the privilege of being born and raised. Throughout my upbringing, I cherished the responsibilities that come with being the elder sibling to two younger brothers, shaping my character in the process.

Throughout my life, I have cultivated a diverse range of artistic skills and crafts, nurtured from my earliest years by my mother. Under her guidance, I embarked on a creative journey that included a wide array of engaging artistic endeavors. From the fundamental techniques of coloring using crayons, colored pencils, and markers, to exploring the expressive realms of painting, sculpting with clay, intricate beadwork, and even the art of sewing, and an array of other intricate crafts. My skills continued to develop and have been constantly evolving from my adolescence & teenage years to early adulthood.

I quickly became interested in the realm of digital art, researching ensued, and another artistic journey into acquiring digital art skills happened. Most of the skills I obtained were from a meticulous process of trial and error, coupled with the adept utilization of diverse digital tools, however there were an extensive watching of instructional videos which had meticulous step-by-step tutorials in them where I also gained a lot of my "how to" knowledge.

In August of 2022, I embarked upon my NFT journey, driven by an abundance of inspiration and support from my extraordinary partner. His unwavering belief in my artistic abilities, expressed over the course of several years, along with consistent encouragement from my family, I have been persuaded to finally unveil my creative art to the world. In the latter part of September 2022, I successfully unveiled my first collection, titled "Mystic Forest Fairy." Inspired by my profound admiration for the ethereal realm of fairies and the enchanting allure of serene forests. This meticulously crafted collection comprised a series of twelve distinct, one-of-a-kind NFTs released on the Polygon blockchain.

Since January 2023, I have successfully launched over 75 unique NFTs across various blockchain platforms. Notably, among these offerings is an exclusive framed physical paint pour artwork, which will be shipped globally to the fortunate raffle winner upon the final sale of the limited NFT editions. All of my captivating creations can be conveniently explored and admired at Mal's Art's, your premier destination for artistic experiences.
