Empowering the Collective

“Art has the power to inspire and provoke thought, and as a spiritual alchemist, I have the unique opportunity to use my creativity to make a positive impact on the world”

Andrea Reade is a multi-talented artist with a passion for creating digital 2D and AI collages influenced by astrology, spirituality, and women empowerment. Her art is nothing short of mesmerizing. “I used to love playing with crayons, paintbrushes, and pencils when I was a child,” recalls Reade. “My parents even sent me to a professional pencil artist to take lessons to hone my skill”. Her love affair with art started with painting and the exploration of vibrant colors. She briefly detoured into architecture and even studied it for nearly a year, but it wasn’t for her. The universe had other plans for her.

Fast forward 10 years: Andrea’s passion for creativity, art, and drawing was reignited. Andrea started her new business venture, Crown and Palette, to showcase her renewed enthusiasm. Her work, driven by her interest in empowering the collective, has earned her a following on Instagram, Twitter, and a reputation as a leading NFT artist in the web3 space.

“Art has the power to inspire and provoke thought, and as a spiritual alchemist, I have the unique opportunity to use my creativity to make a positive impact on the world and I do this in communicating deeper truths via alchemical symbols to empower others on their own journeys of personal transformation, and explore themes such as the duality of existence, and the search for spiritual enlightenment.”

Andrea describes herself in more depth. Crown & Palette is her outlet, in which she says, “creating art is a tool for me to create a space for healing and self-awareness of one’s unique vibration.”

With a bold, powerful, and fantastical style in her collage and AI work, Andrea’s art has earned multiple awards and recognition, including the first-ever Telos NFT Ignite Grant, and has also been featured in various blogs, interviews, exhibits, and galleries all over the world, including NFT.NYC and Art Basel Miami. Her passion and methodical approach to understanding the technology behind her art leaves those who witness it in awe and wonder.

She’s also known for her expertise in web3 and her patient, kind approach to teaching and supporting others. She is not only an advocate for the NFT space but also an ambassador, community leader, moderator, and spaces host for Joyn.xyz. Andrea shares, “Working with the Joyn team has allowed me to amplify my approach in assisting artists in the space to succeed in sharing my knowledge, providing them with resources and tools, along with opportunities to be seen. “It is my hope that my love and dedication I put into the space every day will contribute to the growth and development of a healthy and sustainable web3 ecosystem.”
