A magical mushroom woman with colors inspired by Monet’s Waterlilies.
Wading in the Waterlilies is a small ceramic sculpture of a mushroom woman, glazed in soft, ethereal tones inspired by Monet’s iconic pond paintings. She is delicate but powerful—an ode to quiet magic, feminine transformation, and the lush liminal space between decay and bloom.

Part of Maggie Belinski’s ongoing exploration of death, rebirth, and the sacred feminine, this piece invites contemplation. Mushrooms emerge from death but signal life. They are reminders that even after loss, beauty returns.

Dimensions: 7” x 4” x 3”

Maggie Belinski – Ceramic Artist & Painter

I am a ceramic artist and painter living in Richmond, VA, and a recent Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts graduate. I work in many media, including oils, acrylics, clay, and textiles. I enjoy making things that can be used and/or appreciated in everyday life. My work focuses on death and rebirth to show that death is the natural progression of the life cycle that allows us to appreciate life more. I often use mushrooms as a symbol of rebirth from something that has died. I have also begun exploring feminism through the lens of witchcraft, as the term witch was originally a negative term to villainize women, but has been reclaimed by women to show how powerful women are. 

When I started my spiritual journey into witchcraft, my art style transformed. In Witch culture, there is an appreciation for nature and the cycles within it, which is what drew me in. I began to address ideas about the life cycle, death and rebirth, the modern witch, and feminism. Through my work, I focus on death to try to spin the view that I have on it from a fearful and negative thing; when in reality it is the natural and beautiful progression of the life cycle.
