Step into the California redwoods with this immersive 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
Featuring original artwork by Bay Area artist Hilary Williams, Golden Beams in Redwoods captures the quiet wonder of a springtime hike through towering trees and blooming wildflowers, where golden light breaks through the forest canopy.
Based on an original 48” x 30” mixed-media piece that blends silkscreen, photography, and hand painting, this puzzle offers both a peaceful challenge and a visually rich experience. At 20” x 27” and random-cut, it’s ideal for nature lovers, art fans, and mindful puzzlers alike.
Inspired by a day hike through a California redwood forest, this artwork invites you to experience the serenity of towering trees and vibrant meadows. Originally created as a one-of-a-kind painting using silkscreen and hand-painted layers, Golden Beams in Redwoods captures the ethereal magic of sunlight breaking through the forest canopy and dancing across spring wildflowers.
The composition was built from photos Hilary took herself, infused with texture, color, and emotion you can feel in every puzzle piece.
