Piecing Together Light in a Broken World
Piecing Together Light in a Broken World
Transforming fragmented materials into abstract evocative mosaics; serving as a powerful expression of hope, light, and beauty amidst the brokenness of our world. At Tierra Azul Designs, we believe that even the smallest pieces can come together to tell a story of healing and the practice of finding light in a broken world.
At Tierra Azul Designs, we create mosaics born from the conviction that beauty can be found—and created—in the broken.
The act of mosaic art, piecing together fragments of glass, tile, and stone, has become a deeply healing practice while navigating a time in history marked by profound brokenness, corruptness, injustice, and suffering at hand. These designs are a direct, visceral expression of that reality.
Each piece created is a tapestry of both the struggle and the resilience of the human spirit. They stand as a vivid reminder that amidst the cracks and fragmentation, there is always still light, vibrant color, and undeniable good in this world. Tierra Azul Designs offers more than just art; it offers a message of unprecedented hope and enduring light during the hardest times.
When you look at a Tierra Azul design, you are not just seeing broken pieces—you are seeing a testament to what is possible when we choose to heal, to mend, and to find the whole within the fragmented.
Who we are
I believe that every life is a living work of art.
Amy Schweim is a self-made artist whose practice is rooted in the belief that our very existence—how we dress, speak, move, and show up in the world—is a natural, unique expression of art.
As a child, Amy felt profoundly spoken to by art and a deep compulsion to create. Though an early detour was taken, following the pragmatic voice of "How will you make money as an artist," the last 30 years—filled with travel, exploration, and the search for purpose—have guided her back to the two pillars that provided joy and safety in her youth: art and animals.
At “almost 50”, Amy is finding her way back to her true heart's desire.
Amy’s life has been an intentional journey of world travel through radical pursuits, creative expressions, and somatic healing arts through breathwork, movement, and dance. Now, she is dedicated to simplifying and designing a life that is creatively out-of-the-box on every level moving forward into her 2nd chapter; to begin again and thrive in a new way.
This philosophy directly inspires her mosaic work. The process of making artistic pieces through Mosaics is a beautiful metaphor for life: it is a meditative act of picking up broken pieces, turning that brokenness into beauty, and finding light through the darkness, as she pieces together the remnants of both her own life and the world around her.
