Wild Bloom Flower

A distinctive, one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art by Elana Cooper, created using mixed media on a found shirt. The artwork features a bold, hand-painted black tree motif set against a natural cream textile base. With its expressive silhouette, scalloped canopy, and abstract linear details, the composition creates a striking contrast between the simplicity of the black artwork and the soft, layered textures of the fabric. The interplay of found materials, painterly marks, and textile construction gives the piece an understated yet distinctive artistic character.

Created by Elana Cooper, an artist with a developmental disability at Creativity Explored, an inspiring San Francisco-based gallery and studio where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell their original work.

Blurring the boundaries between art and fashion, this reimagined textile piece celebrates individuality, creative expression, and the possibilities of transforming an existing garment into an artistic canvas. An original work of wearable art to be appreciated and collected.
