🖼️🚀 Sal Strom is a Bitcoin Artist 🎨💰 exhibiting at the upcoming Bitcoin Miami Conference (2023) 🌴🎉.

Her passion for art 🎨 began in her childhood 🧒, as she spent evenings painting while waiting for her mom 👩 to finish work. At a young age, she experimented with photography 📸, capturing unique poses of her Barbie doll 👧🎀. This led to her first encounter with censorship 🚫 when the photography store owner deemed her prints unsuitable for a child and refused to hand them over.

Fascinated by death ☠️ throughout her life, Sal was partly influenced by her father 👨‍🦳, a WWII and Korean War veteran who ultimately committed suicide 💔. She had a childhood ritual of burying dead cats 🐱⚰️ with her friend and faced personal challenges, including alcoholism 🍻 and two brain tumour surgeries 🏥🧠. Sal channeled these experiences into her art 🎭 and relied on laughter therapy 😂 to recover from the injuries caused by the brain tumours.

Eventually, Sal discovered Bitcoin 💰💡, which in her own words "gave her goosebumps." Despite concerns about its energy usage ⚡️🌍, she invested in it on behalf of her grandchildren 👶 and has become a successful Bitcoin artist 🎨💰.
