Testimonials

"Shana is a true artist and professional. Her vision for a collage for my children’s art is what drew me to her and her work. A collage is the perfect way to preserve memories without the clutter. I brought their pieces over to Shana and she did the rest. I will forever cherish the piece she made. We hung it eye-level for the kids and it’s become quite the conversation piece for our whole family."

ELIZA C.
"Working with Shana on our Heirloom Collage was one of the most meaningful creative experiences I’ve ever had. From the very first message, she was warm, inquisitive, and incredibly clear about her process and pricing, which immediately put me at ease. When she received the artwork my children had made, she took real time to understand them. Their little quirks, what they love to paint, and the stories behind their creations. The final piece she crafted for my husband’s Christmas gift is nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve spent years trying to find special ways to honor and display my kids’ artwork, but Shana created something far beyond anything I could have imagined. It’s a stunning, deeply personal collage that captures this fleeting season of our family’s life, and I know we’ll treasure it forever. Shana is gifted, generous, and truly an expert at what she does. I could not recommend her more."

KATHARINE L.
"Our Heirloom Collage lives in our kitchen and brightens up each day and family conversation around the table. It has instantly become a cherished part of our home. Seeing our child beam with joy and get lost in the wonder of his own creations is priceless. We touch it, we notice different things, I catch him gazing at it (so proud of himself!). I am in awe of and grateful to Shana for the artistic eye and expertise she poured into his artwork. She breathed new life into so many pieces he had created during his preschool years, transforming them into a diptych we will always treasure. Cannot wait until we have enough art saved up to do the same with our youngest."

LIZ T.
"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."

I recommend selecting pieces that feel most meaningful or representative of your child’s stage of creativity.
I work with almost any children’s artwork on paper: paint, marker, crayon, pencil, watercolor, chalk, pastel, etc.

2D artwork is best, but light 3D elements are okay (glitter, googly eyes, pom-poms).
If pieces are laminated and you want them included, please photocopy the artwork and send the photocopy.
Please avoid cardboard or art panels.
I use your actual artwork to build the collage. Any unused pieces of artwork will be returned to you.

Yes, gently and intentionally. I create painted papers and textures that add cohesion, depth, and balance to the final piece, while preserving the integrity of your child’s original work. It’s a blend of their creativity and my fine-art process.
Your Heirloom Collage is built on a cradled wood panel– a sturdy, gallery-quality surface often used for fine art. Each panel is sealed and vanished so it’s ready to hang as soon as it arrives. You can hang it directly on the wall using standard picture hooks, no frame needed.
Each collage is sealed with a matte, UV-resistant finish for long-lasting color and mounted on a cradled wood panel with hanging hardware—ready to display.
Note: No colored paper is fully fade-proof, but I take steps to protect your piece with archival materials and multiple coats of UV protection.
I’m currently booking on a first-come, first-served basis.
To reserve your spot you must:
-Submit a 50% deposit
-Mail your artwork (send me the tracking number)
Once your deposit is received, I’ll confirm your place in my schedule. I can only take a limited number of commissions each month, so early booking is encouraged!
Typical turnaround time is 8–10 weeks from the date I receive your materials and deposit.
U.S. Shipping:
Works under size 30×40 usually ship under $200 via UPS or FedEx; larger pieces may be closer to $500. If you are on or near the east coast, delivery is often less.
International Shipping:
I do offer international shipping. Please reach out with your location, and I’ll provide a custom quote and estimated timeline before you order. Shipping costs can vary quite a bit depending on the size of the piece and destination, but we can review options together to see if it makes sense.
Absolutely! You can combine artwork from multiple children into one collage. It often creates a beautiful, cohesive story that reflects all of their styles together. If you prefer to give each child their own spotlight, separate pieces work wonderfully too. It really comes down to the look and feeling you want for your space.
