The Art of Moon Play

Soul Flower has incredible threads—comfortable, fashionable, eco-friendly, and designed with uniquely flattering fits. But what truly sets Soul Flower apart is the original, hand-drawn artwork featured throughout the collection. The Moon Play design is no exception.

I love all of the artwork displayed on the shirts, dresses, skirts, and hair wraps—everything! But I have a particular obsession with trees, especially tree silhouettes. Add a moon and a lonely little swing? I'm sold. The design may seem simple, but it carries a moodiness that I really appreciate. It can remind you of a playful childhood memory beneath a backyard tree, or it can tell a different story. The swing is empty, gently swaying as if its nighttime visitor just stepped away—or perhaps the breeze is announcing an approaching storm. The moon lights the tree and swing like an old black-and-white photograph against the soft heather-black fabric, creating the perfect moonlit sky.

Who better to model this organic cotton clothing than Insomniart's own Angela Ryde Schmitt? Angela is a creative soul based in Baraboo, Wisconsin. I discovered her artwork before I discovered our friendship, and I'm grateful for both. Her work is filled with imagination, balancing whimsical beauty with a touch of mystery.

Insomniart is exactly what the name suggests—a nonstop, creatively inspired mind that never seems to rest. Her artistic style felt like the perfect match for this Soul Flower design, and she wore it with the quirky elegance that's uniquely Angela. Like so many Soul Flower women's tops, it's incredibly soft, comfortable, flattering, and easy to wear. It paired beautifully with a maxi skirt and hoodie while still letting the artwork take center stage.

There are a million companies making graphic tees, but I always come back to Soul Flower. There's something special about wearing a quality garment that features artwork created by a true artist. The designs feel personal, thoughtful, and full of heart. Keep creating such beautiful art, Soul Flower—we love wearing it!
