#The7LoveStories’s Illustrator: Grace Lovart
“I want to bring people together and encourage them to appreciate the beauty of our universe…”
Hello, Dear Readers! I’m Rionna Morgan, author of The 7 Love Stories. Together with artists Steph Rapo, KGKH Art™, Megan Morrow, and Grace Lovart, we have created this dynamic LiteraryNFT collection, set to be released early 2023! The 7 Love Stories collaboration team is so very dear to my heart. I feel incredibly lucky to have found four talented, beautiful women artists to illustrate the stories I wrote for you. We set out with one goal: build with love, share with love, create with love.
I recently had a chance to talk with Grace Lovart, one of our four illustrators, and interview her a bit for this article. I want to share with you her journey from then to now, how she came to the NFT Community, her life as an artist, what advice she would give to others following a similar path, and her thoughts on The 7 Love Stories themselves.
After studying fashion and art in Paris and Milan, Grace earned her master’s degree in Europe and followed her dream to explore space and the cosmos through her creativity. Her vibrant NFT artwork features mystery, magic, passion, and the beauty of the cosmos. Through unique imagery, Grace conveys its wonder, inviting viewers to embark on an adventure. Her work reminds us that we are all connected by the same stars and planets, no matter our experiences or backgrounds, “I want to bring people together and encourage them to appreciate the beauty of our universe, and feel the power of the universe through my space art,” she says.
Today, Grace is focused on several projects coming this year, demonstrating her diverse set of skills and artistic talent. She believes that digital art and the NFT community will continue to grow significantly, offering digital artists more opportunities than ever. I am so honored and excited to introduce you to her!
Rionna: What has drawn you to the NFT Community?
Grace: The potential of NFTs is limitless, and the possibilities for digital art, gaming, literature, music, luxury items, and other industries are endless. As an artist and collector, I am inspired by the constant evolution of the NFT community and its ability to create new ways to engage with digital content while bridging two worlds — digital art & web3 (blockchain technology) — creating an exciting ecosystem of creativity and diversified resources. As the industry continues to grow, I am excited to see how NFTs will shape our digital future.
Rionna: As an artist, in what medium do you generally create?
Grace: I mainly create digital art and NFTs. My art is inspired by a combination of life’s vibrant colors, mostly abstract and outer space art. I create pieces exploring love, optimism, and new worlds. I aim to create artwork that immediately impacts viewers — to get inspired, dream, or relax. I believe digital art opens new possibilities for everyone.
Rionna: What key events stand out for you in your artist journey?
Grace L: When I reflect on my journey as an artist, the most distinctive moment that stands out is when I began to explore NFTs and digital artwork while connecting with others who share my passion for creative projects in the space. Utilizing this new form of technology, I discovered a new world of opportunities for creating art with innovative tools and sharing my creativity through web3. Learning every day, asking questions, doing something new, and improving my skills — these aspects have been essential in connecting me to others around the globe.
Rionna: The 7 Love Stories is a Literary NFT- what sets it apart from other NFT projects?
Grace: Rionna Morgan’s The 7 Love Stories NFT project is a beautiful expression of art and literature inspired by love and how it can unite artists and all of us with different backgrounds and styles.

Love is remarkable; let us use literature and art to celebrate it with The 7 Love Stories project! We must take this opportunity to share more love in the world.

This project is a perfect opportunity to bring together literature and art in web3: two essential elements in expressing love through centuries. The 7 Love Stories will feature stories about relationships between people from different cultures and backgrounds.
This project will remind us never to forget our love for each other and it will ensure that art, literature, culture, and diversity are celebrated worldwide. With The 7 Love Stories Literary NFT, we can share our stories with the world and allow others to learn more about relationships between people, regardless of our differences.

Rionna: Where else can we view your work?
Grace: My artwork is mainly found in NFTs on the Opensea marketplace. In addition, I have expanded to other platforms: Instagram, Twitter, Society6, Redbubble, Linktr.ee, etc. I constantly experiment with different mediums, colors, textures, and compositions to create unique pieces. My goal is to create visually stunning artwork and inspire viewers to explore the outside world via my digital art. That’s why I take the time to carefully craft each piece of digital art and strive to make it something truly special.
My artwork touches on many genres and encompasses various styles, from abstract and surrealism to cosmic art. I am constantly exploring different techniques and methods to stay on the leading edge of digital art creation, and I am happy to share it with the world. I invite you to explore my world of digital art and discover something you can connect with!
Rionna: What two pieces of advice would you give to someone who is looking to join the NFT Community?
Grace: Joining the NFT community is a great decision if you’re looking to explore digital art, blockchain technology, and web3. First, do your research. NFTs involve investment risks like any other asset class, and knowledge is your best protection. Second, get involved in the community — start building your NFT network; feel free to reach out and ask questions to members of the NFT Community. The NFT Community is filled with genuinely cool people willing to share their knowledge and experience; it’s how NFTs come alive in real life. There is always someone who can help you get started. Finally, remember to have fun and stay creative!
Rionna: What else would you like for your audience and supporters to know?
Grace: I’m passionate about the potential of NFTs in web3. My 1/1 NFT artwork is motivated by cosmic and abstract art styles and includes my own modern twist. I’m inspired by the strength of nature, technology, and everyday life. Each of my pieces is unique and has symbolic meanings that come together to create a larger story.
As part of The 7 Love Stories project, I wanted to experiment with a new way of exclusively illustrating hand-drawn digital images, creating a unique NFT with powerful emotions expressed through art. My vision for these pieces is that they inspire people to think differently about love via art, creativity, literature, and technology. With this project, I want to show that NFTs can be a powerful tool to create new, meaningful experiences.
I look forward to exploring more possibilities with my work, and together, we can create an open and fair marketplace for true digital content ownership. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do!
