Three small abstract works inspired by sand, emerald tones, and emotional curiosity.
This latest trio in my Little Gems Series was born from a desire to be playful. So I played with colour, with texture, and with the thoughts that can pass through our mind when healing.
Composition and connection
Each piece features rich emerald tones—a nod to the heart chakra—and real sand embedded in the mixed-media layers.
There’s something grounding and ancient about adding earth to a painting. It not only adds a shimmer, but it gives the work weight.

What’s in a name?
The titles? They’re musings I’ve had mid-thought on my own inner journey:
Hide and Seek — about what we reveal and conceal
Three’s A Crowd — a reflection on boundaries and energy
One Day I’ll Get Everything I Want Then I’ll Be Happy — a playfully ironic mantra we’ve all whispered at some point
All three are 9” x 12”, available on Saatchi as originals and prints:

Why green?
Green is known as the colour of healing and the heart. In colour psychology and energy medicine, it restores balance, calms the nervous system, and supports emotional regulation.
I hope these Little Gems bring a breath of softness, curiosity, and healing into your space.
