You weren’t made to stay quiet.
This original mosaic marks the moment you stop playing nice and start being real. It's that turning point when you find your voice. Maybe it’s a little rusty. Maybe it doesn’t follow the lines others expect. But it’s yours.
No more shrinking to keep the peace. No more changing your colors and losing yourself to blend in. This piece stands for owning your truth, grit, grace, and all.
‘Don’t try to be nice, be real’ is a bold visual reminder: your voice matters, even when it’s offbeat. Maybe especially when it’s offbeat. Because it makes this world a much more exciting place.

when my art resonates
Grace"This piece reminds me how connected I am, to nature, to the planet, to life!"
Suze"Peaceful. It actually makes me feel like I am stepping out of my rushed life into a serene spa session. A peaceful moment, just for me, all thoughts can stay outside for a moment."
Christine"Your eye for colours and shapes is exquisite. What a beautiful pattern!"
behind the collection
I didn't grow up making art, but life had other plans. When I found mosaics, it felt like I was stitching something back together in myself.
Every piece begins with a question, a feeling, or a truth that won't leave me alone.
This collections comes from moments like that, turning points where I needed to be honest with myself.
If one of these speaks to something in you, that's not an accident. That's the power of art.
