About Shana Blakley
I’m a Virginia-based artist and mother of three whose work celebrates the fearless creativity of children. My Heirloom Collage process began in my home studio with my own kids’ drawings, transforming their piles of art into something meaningful and lasting.
What started as a personal project quickly resonated with families around the world. My work has since gone viral across Instagram and Facebook, reaching millions and connecting me with hundreds of families who wanted their children’s art reimagined in this way.
Each collage is made with fine-art materials and finished with the same level of care I give my gallery work. My background in mixed media and my belief that every child’s marks deserve to be celebrated guide every piece I create.
Whether I’m handcrafting your collage myself or teaching you how to make your own through my e-course, my goal is the same: to help you preserve your child’s creativity in a way that feels timeless, meaningful, and artful
“We are remodeling our home and my design team connected with Shana about creating an heirloom piece for our home. Her process was seamless and she was extremely professional. She took amazing care of my kids' art and created something truly special and magical. Shana was absolutely wonderful to work with.”
