"Experiments in Serenity" lives in the tension between effort and truth. At first glance, it’s delicate and pastel, a dream of calm. But look closer and you’ll see it: the flickers of chaos, the anxious shapes pushing through the softness.
It’s the visual language of high-functioning worry — all the ways we try to soothe ourselves, layer serenity on top of panic, and keep smiling through the static.
From the collection "Grown, Glorious & Still Growing", this piece doesn’t pretend peace is easy. It honors the awkward, frustrating, deeply human process of reaching for it anyway.
Each "Experiments in Serenity" print is made to order — a conscious rejection of mass production in favor of art that carries meaning. We don’t sit on inventory. We create your piece when you choose it. That’s why it ships within five business days — fresh, intentional, and yours alone.
"This piece is for the moments when you’re trying to hold it together, but the anxiety keeps tapping your shoulder. The beauty is in the effort."
- Nicole McNamara

This isn’t fake calm. This is your nervous system, making art out of survival.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE CALM ON THE SURFACE, BUT KNOW THE CHAOAS IN THE SWIRLS
COLOR & COMPOSITION INSIGHT
The Mood This Palette Creates
Every shade in this piece is chosen with intention — to shift the energy of your space, spark emotion, and remind you of what’s possible every time you walk past it.
Soft lavender, sky blue, and icy pinks create a serene base — almost dreamlike — but dotted patterns and jagged turret-shell forms pierce the calm with intentional discomfort. The layered swirls mimic racing thoughts, looping patterns, and emotional overwhelm. White stippling moves across the canvas like frantic attempts to soothe — rhythmic, repetitive, hopeful. The tall vertical frame stretches the tension, drawing your eye from shaky calm to high-alert spirals. It’s peace and panic, coexisting.
