How does it work?
In the post, you send me:
a black and white photo of your child (school photos can work really well!)
a selection of artwork (originals or copies)
a short note about their interests, personality, loves
I then carefully curate and transform these elements into a composed artwork.
The finished piece is professionally framed and delivered to you, ready to hang.
The result: one meaningful, beautiful artwork, instead of boxes and boxes of paper and stuff!
Preserving Your Child’s Artwork
You love your child’s drawings, paintings and creations, but over time they pile up, filling drawers, boxes, and bags. It’s hard to throw them away, yet impossible to keep everything they make, and we all know...some end up in the bin?! My ‘Childhood Collage’ commissions are a way of keeping what matters, without the clutter. By carefully transforming your child’s artwork and crafty creations into one thoughtfully composed, professionally framed artwork, their imagination is preserved and celebrated in a meaningful way that can happily live on your walls.
How is their work preserved?
A beautiful, one-of-a-kind, professionally framed collage artwork made from your child’s drawings, paintings, cards, and creative work, combined with hand-painted details and a portrait photograph of your choosing.
How is this collage different?
There are lots of ways to display children’s artwork - frames that swap pictures in and out, or large collage canvases that take over a whole wall. My ‘Childhood Collages’ sit somewhere very different. Rather than storing, rotating, or simply mounting a few pieces at a time, this work gathers many drawings, paintings and handmade objects into one thoughtfully composed artwork. By scanning, reducing, and carefully selecting elements alongside the option to include small originals and 3D craft details, your piles of creativity are transformed into a single, framed piece that feels intentional and art-led.
The result isn’t a craft display or a storage solution, but a considered artwork designed to live comfortably in everyday homes, without needing vast wall space.
