I had the privilege of collaborating with A Piece of Mine Puzzles to transform my artwork, Slow Mornings, into a beautifully crafted 1000-piece puzzle. This piece is part of their debut collection, Ordinary Days, a celebration of the quiet, reflective moments that often go unnoticed.

Slow Mornings is inspired by the quiet stillness of early mornings — when the world feels soft before the city begins to wake from its slumber. Most of us in the city spend our mornings in a frantic rush. To get work, school, sometimes even just a constantly losing battle with our alarm’s snooze!

But I’ve had my happy shares of unhurried mornings before, they are few and rare, and this illustration served as a reminder that a peace like this will always be there should we choose to look for it in calm before dawn.
