Gallery Wall Hero image
Minted Independent Artists hero image

fearless
optimism

To capture this historic moment, we invited our Minted community of independent artists to create a design, piece of art, or pattern inspired by a fearless sense of optimism. The results? Courageous. Risk-taking. Inspiring.

fearless optimism

The past two years have been challenging, to say the least. But this spring, we’re focused on moving forward. Getting out of our comfort zone. Attempting new projects. Putting ourselves out there. Stepping out—with fearless optimism.

I love the way the flower petals have
been distorted and abstracted—a very
out-of-the-box treatment.”

Creative Risk Award winner: Paper Butterflies, by Kamala Nahas

the creative risk award

paper butterflies

by kamala nahas

The Creative Risk Award is presented to the artist with the best submission in a category they have never had a Minted win in before. Award winner Kamala Nahas is a photographer and artist based in Ventura, California.

Shop Kamala’s Store

“Kamala is a fine art photographer and took a
big risk by working with pattern design,
a new medium for her. I like that she applied
texture to select butterflies, and placed them
in a creative scatter on this bag.”

Founder & Co-CEO
