About the Artist, Naomi Hope
Have you ever felt like you've lost yourself?
Like you don't know who you are anymore and the things you thought were true - that your body is strong, the path in front of you is clear - only to have it pulled away from you.
This was my journey with a brain tumour, but I know from talking to others that this is their journey too. Life falling apart, looking around and realising what we built isn't what we want. It can feel like you're the only one, lost and alone, picking up the pieces.
In the broken pieces of my mosaic glass I see a reflection of our experiences, and when I bring them together there's a new sense of wholeness.
Look closely and you'll see the cracks, the scratches, the chips. Look again and you'll see the whole. Perfectly imperfect. Unique. Beautiful.

Broken fragments to beautiful pieces
Of course they are sparkly and joyful, but behind each piece I'd love you to know that they are so much more than that. And so are you.
Character building
Celebrating our uniqueness when we bring together the broken pieces.
Shimmer and sparkle
Letting our true selves shine, bright and beautiful.
More than the sum of our parts
Filling the gaps, but not hiding the cracks that show our journeys.
Charity
To show my appreciation for brainstrust, the charity who helped put me back together again, I donate 10% from every sale to them.
Brainstrust supported me with coaching, helping to see myself as a whole person with strengths and potential, guided by my values. This helped me to see the wood for the trees and feel comfortable with my new life.
Through their support network I connected with other people who had similar experiences, something that made me feel seen and understood.
Together we are helping more people with brain tumours find wholeness from the broken pieces.
