Rooted in Radiance
A mosaic collection about presence, transformation, and the sacred cycles of becoming

Rooted in Radiance is a body of work born from stillness and shaped by light. It began as a Solstice offering, but it continues to grow into something larger—an unfolding journey of grounding, emergence, and remembrance.

Each mosaic in this collection is made from hand-cut stained glass, gemstones, and soulful treasures like beads, vintage jewelry, and found objects. Together, they reflect the beauty of becoming—through grief, growth, and grace.

The collection moves through three symbolic stages:

Rootedness — where we listen deeply, ground ourselves, and find steady presence.

Radiance — where we step into visibility, trust our glow, and begin to shine from within.

Remembrance — where we honor loss, hold tenderness, and allow healing to move through us.

At the threshold stands Kali, guardian of transformation and fierce love. And beyond her, Sunward points to what’s next—a reach toward warmth, hope, and forward movement.

 Hand-cut stained glass mosaics inspired by nature, spirit, and personal stories.

🌱 Rootedness

Grounding, Listening, Belonging

The Listening Root

12″ diameter stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $339

At its heart, this piece holds a sacred space for deep listening—a quiet pause where the seen and unseen meet.
A quiet mosaic of deep grounding and sacred pause. A ceramic mask anchors the center—an ancient face that witnesses and listens. Roots, branches, and flowing hair echo the underground movements of growth. Amethyst offers clarity; silver and garnet add resilience. A meditation in stillness.

 

Embodied Earth

16″ x 20″ stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $725

She is woven into the earth and sky—a quiet bridge between the worlds we can see and those beyond sight.   She rises from landscape—half earth, half water. Her dress is foliage. Her halo is sunlight. Her body dissolves into rolling hills and deep blue boulders. A mudra of release, a gesture of grounding. This is a mosaic about belonging—to the land, to ourselves, and to the cycles that shape us.

Keeper of the Grove

 12″ diameter stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $339

At its core, this mosaic is about quiet strength and the power of stillness.
A guardian of the in-between. Eyes closed, face serene, surrounded by forest tones and sacred symbols: sun and moon, copper Om, scattered amethyst. She holds the stillness of a woodland dawn. A reminder that quiet presence is powerful medicine

RADIANCE:

LIGHT-FILLED MOSAIC ART FOR SELF-TRUST & VISIBILITY

She Who Shines

Her light is steady and powerful—a radiant presence that refuses to be dimmed.

With calm eyes and a golden halo, she radiates warmth and grounded confidence. Lapis for wisdom. Spirals for flow and growth. She claims her light without apology, reminding us to do the same. A mosaic of luminous self-trust.

Inner Radiance

 14″ x 14″ stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $540

Their light glows quietly from within—a calm, steady presence full of wisdom and growth.
They look inward with peaceful strength, inviting you to find your own inner glow. Tiny half-dome beads crown their head, representing the 108 snails said to have protected Buddha during his deep meditation—snails that sacrificed themselves to shield the ushnisha, the raised bump symbolizing expanded wisdom and enlightenment.

A golden spiral adorns their third eye, symbolizing unfolding insight and spiritual transformation.

A soft pink-red lotus rests gently over their heart, symbolizing love, compassion, and healing energy.

Inner Radiance celebrates the quiet power we all carry—the gentle light that grows stronger when we listen deeply and embrace our true selves, beyond labels or expectations.

Welcoming the Light

 14″ x 18″ stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $700

She stands with open hands and an open heart, ready to receive what comes next.
Gentle waves of gold, pink, and blue move softly around her, like the first light of morning after a long night.

Her presence holds no rush or force—only the gentle strength of openness and willingness to embrace change and growth.

This mosaic invites you to trust the unfolding journey, to soften into the light growing within, and to welcome transformation with grace and courage.

Every piece of stained glass is carefully cut and placed to catch the light just right, mirroring the delicate balance between readiness and surrender.

Welcoming the Light reminds us that sometimes, the most powerful step is simply to open ourselves fully to what’s next.

 

REMEMBRANCE:

Grief, Grace, and Healing

mother of the Waters 

15″ x 20″ stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $850

Inspired by African water spirits, she is wild, regal, and wise. Her hair flows like waves. Her crown shines with reclaimed crystal and shell. Coral, abalone, and vintage jewelry adorn her like offerings. She holds the mystery of tides and tears, of what we release and what we reclaim.

Held and Holding

14×18 stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $700
By Alicia Taylor Low

There is healing in being held. And there is power in holding others, too.
Two abstracted figures cradle one another—mirroring the sacred act of care. A red lotus blooms in the center. Amethyst and carnelian pulse through the glass. This piece speaks of reciprocity: being held, and holding others, in love.

Dancing Kali

18″ x 20″ stained glass mosaic on foam core backer | $700

She moves with fierce love and unshakable power—transforming what no longer serves.
She is fire and freedom. Adorned with moonstone, silver, and garnet, she dances at the edge of release. Skulls rest near her pelvis—rooted transformation made visible. This is not destruction for its own sake; this is clearing space for new life.

 

The Invitation

Rooted in Radiance is about movement—not just outward, but inward. It’s about cycles, thresholds, and truth. Wherever you are in your own unfolding, I hope something here meets you.

Thank you for walking part of this path with me.
