Introducing my silk scarf for Echo New York! Only 100 of these beauties are for sale, as part of the Echo100 campaign where 100 artists rally for 100 charities (in honour of 100 years of Echo). Together, we hope to raise $1M for charity. Each limited edition scarf is printed on heavyweight silk with a hand-rolled hem, individually numbered (only 100 produced) and packaged in a custom gift box. We hope to raise $10,000 for this amazing organization.
I think this piece evokes that feeling of hope, of something being on the horizon, a new day full of possibility, a fresh start, and moving towards the light. It’s wearable art and when it's with me, I feel like a magnet for positive energy —like I'm waving the flag to attract LOVE and JOY. It's truly, truly one of my most favourite things I've ever worked on, and all the proceeds go to a charity I've chosen to support, called The Color Movement (a charity by big sister group, Alight). Apart from the obvious connection through name, I was inspired by this El Salvadorian organization because they empower communities challenged by violence, poverty and exploitation by creating sanctuary shelter spaces and offering free art programs, and painting colorful murals in neighbourhoods to uplift and create a sense of hope and support.
Snag one of these luxurious beauties, and support an amazing cause!
