An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a asset that has been tokenized on a blockchain and represents a unique asset whos ownership can be tracked and traced back to its original creator. What got me excited about this technology for my art was the prospect of traceability and the ability to receive royalties on the exchange of my art. I entered into this space in 2021 and have learned a lot about the ever evolving space as well as unique and exciting ways to display my art. Feel free to take a virtual walk around my gallery or scroll through any of my other works for sale below.
If you wish to purchase an NFT of my work, I’ve listed my work on a few different platforms:
My 1/1 stand alone pieces are listed on the original Foundation contract:
“Reflections of a Sunset”
This shot is from the 10 days I spent campervanning around New Zealand. I had planned to spend only one night camping at this location and when I arrived in the area, the mountain was covered by thick cloud cover. I had low expectations of even seeing the peak, let alone capturing a great shot but I made the climb anyway. As I hiked, a strong wind came off the ocean and lifted the clouds. I arrived at the tarn just in time for sunset and got quite the show!
Location: Mount Taranaki, New Zealand

“An Unlikely Sunset”
I didn’t think this one was going to work out. All the heavy cloud cover was preventing the sun from hitting the dunes as the sun was setting. In the last few moments the sun sank below the cloud line and cast light across the scene in front of me. The light kissed off of the side of the dunes and bottom of the clouds. Pockets of falling rain set aglow as they worked their way across the valley and the haze in front of the sun cleared away enough to allow the perfect sunburst to break through.

“Drooling Devil”
I stood at the water’s edge, with the Devil’s Teeth silhouetted in the background by the glow of the early morning sun. As I set up my shot, my plan was to capture some small flows of water cascading over the rocks, but a larger rush of water came in than expected and I just started firing off shots. I managed to capture the wave at the perfect moment where it appears to be a small waterfall cascading down the rocks.

“Sunrise Over Senja”
After a long and windy hike through the night, the vastness of the island of Senja laid out in front of me. I knew I needed to do a panorama in order to capture this complete scene, so I tested a number of compositions while the distant glow started to strengthen. Once I found this spot, I fixed my eyes on the horizon and waited for the sun to rise above the sprawling mountain range. This image captures the light as it raced across the fjord that morning, lighting peaks one by one.
Location: Senja, Norway

The following has been minted on my own custom Manifold smart contract and belongs to the open Kyle Barden collection
“I am Still Here”
I captured this image while driving alone along the roads in northern Iceland. A snow storm had just started to kick up and I saw the iconic Icelandic horse in the field nearby. while others seemed to huddle together, this one stood alone staring at a pile of rocks. Based on the size and shape, it resembled a burial mound. “I am still here” are the whispers I could hear from the horse carried by the wind. This piece also serves as a personal statement to the NFT market. It was minted amidst a bear market where many others were exiting the space. I believe they are here to stay and so am I.

This piece leans much more to the digital art side of my creative process and was born from an image I captured in Senja Norway. The lightning and atmosphere have been added to pay homage to Norse mythology’s god of thunder, Thor. I happen to love Norse mythology and am excited to attach an extra personal element to my first edition.
