Art With Purpose | Giving Back Through Mosaic Art – Merrin’s Art

10% of every purchase supports frontline services for survivors of sexual violence and child abuse. Learn how your support helps create real change.

Art With Purpose

Each shard I lay tells a story. Some whimsical, some joyful — and others born from pain and healing.

My mosaics are more than art. They're a voice. A protest. A promise.

That’s why I donate 10% of all sales to charities supporting survivors of sexual violence and childhood abuse — causes that are deeply personal to me.

Why I Give

Some stories are too heavy to carry alone.

When you purchase one of my pieces, you help carry them with me — and more importantly, you help ensure others get the support they deserve.

My own experiences, and those of people I love, have shown me how devastatingly common — and invisibly endured — this violence can be.

Art became my way of healing. Giving became my way of fighting back.

Where Your Support Goes

I currently donate to two Australian organisations doing critical, frontline work:

Bravehearts

Focused on preventing child sexual abuse through education, early intervention, and support programs.

They offer personal safety and consent education to kids as young as 3, and they support families and survivors through therapy, training, and advocacy.

Full Stop Australia

A national leader in supporting people of all ages affected by sexual, domestic, and family violence.

They provide 24/7 trauma-informed counselling, legal support, and drive major changes in law, consent education, and victim protection.

What This Means for You

When you buy from me, you’re not just supporting a small Australian artist —

You’re helping fund education for young people, crisis support for survivors, and long-overdue reform.

Every tile matters. Every dollar helps. Every piece speaks.

Tracking Impact

As my business grows, I’ll post occasional updates here and on social media showing what we’ve raised, and who we’ve helped.

Thank you for standing beside me, and for choosing art that speaks up.

Bravehearts Donation Total

Thanks to your support, we’ve donated $114.61 to Bravehearts — helping protect children from sexual abuse through vital education, early intervention, and support programs.

Every purchase makes a difference. Together, we’re turning art into action.

You can hang it, wear it, gift it, collect it, carry it, or create it yourself.
