Nessy

Vanessa 'Nessy' Thomas is an experimental digital and mixed media artist. She enjoys experimenting with a variety of tools, and techniques to produce work that represents an expression of her worldview, informed by layers of Black experience. In early 2022 Nessy began to invest in her craft as a full-time artist. She created her debut collection, MxSe in 2021 before hearing about NFTs. After connecting to active members in the Web3 community, she learned about the exciting opportunities for artists who use this technology. In the same year Nessy created the cover art for Africville Forever which was on the list of top podcasts of the year. She also had the opportunity to participate in Halifax Mural fest, and now has multiple art installations around the city of Halifax. Nessy finds joy in creating art that can spark conversation and be remembered.
