Gavin Meeler grew up outside of Atlanta, Georgia, and has been “all about art” since he was in elementary school. Gavin took three art classes in one semester of high school because a teacher spotted his interest and pushed him to do more of it.Meeler also sold his first art piece just after high school, a 16" x 20" print for $800.
Despite a life-long passion for art and selling his first piece right out of high school, he had to overcome multiple hurdles to be able to produce art full-time.After looking up anything to do to make an extra $100 online, he saw something about NFTs. It was confusing at first.
Gavin didn’t understand the multiple platforms and went deep on learning how an artist could put up their work for sale using NFTs on various platforms. His first ever NFT collector eventually included him in an event with XCopy and Beeple, and GaryVee ended up buying two of his pieces. Gavin also said that his goal is to get his art on platforms like Super Rare or Nifty Gateway, and he hopes that his art will eventually make it to a famous auction house like Christie’s or Sotheby’s.
Listen to this conversation hosted by ONE37pm’s Nick Anderson, where they dive deep into Meeler’s past, where he draws inspiration, and how art has shaped him into the person that he is today.
