Art Inspo: Gold Leaf

The story behind the art.


I wanted to capture what I felt when I started feeling better. I wasn’t the Amanda I was before I went through depression, but a version of myself that came out stronger. Leaves represent hope and renewal while the gold symbolizes elegance and a renaissance, a revival. When I felt a new hope, I felt the richness of energy that shines and shimmers like the gold on the leaf. So far, I’ve chosen to put this print on apparel. Ones that flow easily and, like the wrap skirt, can be created into more than just what it says it can be (I wrapped it into a top!)

 

Keeping in mind, this revival isn’t a one time experience. I know and have been through depressive episodes since the first; I now know what it feels like, what I can do when I feel it (essentially, I have made sense of it) and know that I will come out of it with a new leaf to turn.

While on vacation we decided to show you how easy it is to use this wrap and wear it two different ways!
