Zen Art that Celebrates You
Welcome to Checkmates, a world of colourful Zen Art. Each pattern invites you to explore, reflect and connect with who you are.
Which Pattern Feels Like You?
Checkmates invites you to discover which pattern feels most like you, and to use it as a visual reminder to connect with yourself.
About Checkmates Designs
Checkmates is all about celebrating the individual. My art is created through the process of meditation and is intentionally unique. It isn't designed to look like anything that has come before, nor does it conform to set principles or guidelines. It is free-flowing and true to the moment in which it is created.
This sense of truth, authenticity and courage to be unique is what I want to bring into the world through my work.
Zen Art for 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).

From Recovery to Self-connection
I was unwell and 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.
