Happy International Women’s Day!
Here at Wirex, we’re big on gender equality in the crypto industry. In fact, you might have come across our annual Women in Crypto campaign, which focuses on achieving just that.
This International Women’s Day, we want to shine the light on some inspiring women achieving all sorts of unique and interesting things in the world of crypto. To kick things off, let’s meet the top 10 female NFT artists to look out for in 2022!
Blake Kathryn - United States
Designer Blake Katheryn’s dreamlike landscapes were already popular on social media before she decided to collaborate with Paris Hilton on a collection of NFTs last April. The piece that garnered the most attention was a one-off called Iconic Crypto Queen, which sold at auction on Nifty Gateway for $1,111,211.
Paloma Rincón - Mexico
Photographer Paloma Rincón takes inspiration from her homeland to create bold, colourful still life images of Mexican summers, local cuisine and native plants. She sells her art on the Foundation marketplace and made as much as $3,922 for a recent piece.

Immersive artist Anna Zhilyaeva fuses real and virtual art in the form of live performances and mixed reality video, which can only be appreciated using VR devices. She performs all over the world and auctions the videos of her performances on the SuperRare platform, often for around the $30,000 mark.

Digital illustrator Jenisu uses her art to create a more vibrant version of reality. Her works are inspired by technology, architecture and vintage aesthetics, and feature distinctive colours and detailed outlines.
