Custom collages from kids' artwork

The finger-painted suns.
The lopsided dogs you couldn't bring yourself to toss.

We build collages from your kid's actual artwork.

Custom collages built from your kid's actual artwork. Cradled basswood, mixed media, archival sealant. Hung in the rooms where adults live.

What we make

You've got a bin of crayon rainbows, paper-cut creatures, and a scribbled cat that swore it was a dragon.

You can't throw it away. You can't keep all of it.

So we sort through what you send and pick the pieces that compose well together. We layer them onto a 1.5-inch cradled basswood panel and build the composition around them in mixed media. The whole surface gets an archival UV sealant. Your kid's paper, intact, on a piece worth hanging in the hallway you actually use.

Heirloom and playful, both at once.

Also in the studio

And the words.

The thing your three-year-old said about the moon. The thing the six-year-old said at dinner that everyone in the house is still quoting a year later.

Hand-cut metal letters, gold or silver, floated on cardstock with a standoff so the metal catches the light and throws a real shadow on the page. Framed in beaded wood, natural oak, or colored metal.

Signed and dated with the kid's actual name and age, bottom right of every piece.

Same studio. Same signature. Different medium.
