Pieces of Stillness | Original Mixed Media Mosaic Painting on Wood Panel | 20" x 20"

Pieces of Stillness

What does mindfulness look like?

Sometimes it isn't found in one perfect moment—it is discovered through many small moments woven together.

Pieces of Stillness is an original mixed-media mosaic painting that celebrates the beauty of fragments becoming whole. Combining hand-painted ceramic tiles, textured acrylic painting, flowing alcohol inks, and a luminous resin finish, this one-of-a-kind artwork invites the viewer to slow down and discover something new with every glance.

The composition is inspired by a tranquil pond viewed from above. Individual tiles, each unique in their organic patterns, float like reflections on water, surrounding delicate lotus blossoms that emerge as symbols of hope, resilience, and quiet awakening.

Each tile tells its own story, yet together they create a harmonious whole—a visual reminder that our lives, too, are shaped by many experiences, memories, and moments of growth.

Like much of my work, this painting asks a simple question:

What does mindfulness look like?

Perhaps it looks like learning to appreciate each piece before seeing the complete picture.

Symbolism

• Lotus Blossoms symbolize resilience, transformation, and finding beauty through life's challenges.
• Water represents healing, clarity, and the gentle flow of change.
• Individual Tiles reflect the layered experiences that shape who we become.
• Gold Accents evoke light, hope, and the unexpected beauty found in everyday moments.

The glossy resin surface enhances the depth of the alcohol inks and creates beautiful reflections that change throughout the day as the light shifts.

Artist Statement

My artwork explores one central question:

What does mindfulness look like?

Through layers of texture, color, and symbolism, I create pieces that encourage viewers to pause, observe, and reconnect with the quiet beauty found in everyday life. The physical layering of materials mirrors the emotional layers that shape each of us, reminding us that our stories are built one experience at a time.
