Planche À Découper Gathering Light © – Fine Art Serving Board

Gathering Light is an original copyrighted artwork that reflects motherhood as a shared moment of wonder, guidance, and quiet strength. Presented as a fine art serving board, this piece brings the artwork into shared moments of gathering and care. Designed for light serving, presentation, or display, it offers a functional yet thoughtful way to incorporate the imagery into everyday life without diminishing its meaning. A mother, sunhat gently tilted, guides two children through a shimmering tidepool of color and light. They bend in curiosity, searching for sea‑treasures beneath the ripples — shells, stones, maybe memories. The scene captures the innocence of childhood and the quiet strength of maternal presence. Rendered in an expressive, richly pigmented batik style, the artwork blends figurative forms with abstract texture. Saturated purples, corals, aquas, and earth tones create a dreamlike quality, as if the moment is being remembered rather than observed. Gathering Light is an original artwork, created and owned by the artist.
