About the Artwork
20 Pearls Circle the Quad is an original 8x10 acrylic painting set against a dark, matte background. Alternating salmon pink and apple green forms create a rhythmic circular pattern that draws the eye inward. At the center, a small, quiet focal point serves as a symbol of balance and peace-anchoring the surrounding movement and suggesting calm within structure and community.
