Checkmates Designs
Wellness Art
A Pattern for Every Personality
Checkmates invites you to discover which pattern feels most like you, and to use it as a visual reminder to connect with yourself.
Visual art, wellness, and the power of self-connection
Checkmates patterns are a visual experience designed to inspire you to build a deeper relationship with yourself. Research has shown that viewing artwork can positively support wellbeing (Worrel C. et al., 2025).
CONNECT WITH YOURSELF:
Use the patterns as inspiration to pause and check in with yourself.
DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE:
When you connect with yourself, you become more aware of your physical and emotional needs. In other words, you start to discover who you really are.
LIVE IN THAT PURPOSE:
Take the time to honour those needs in your daily life. You may not see it at first, but your life will start to change.
FROM RECOVERY TO SELF-CONNECTION
I was unwell an started painting patterns to reconnect with myself. When I shared my work I realised people weren't just seeing patterns, they were seeing themselves within them. From then on my approach to design became intentional: to create patterns that inspire self-connection.
