Hello there! I'm Kelly.
I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the world of collage art and introduce you to something I'm incredibly passionate about—COLLAGE. In a world that's constantly changing, one thing remains constant: the accessibility and joy of creating beautiful, meaningful collage art.
As someone who started teaching online at the beginning of the pandemic, I've seen firsthand the power of art to bring people together, to inspire creativity inside everyone, and to provide a sense of connection and purpose—even from the comfort of our own homes.
And now, I can't wait to share a transformative experience with you! Collage-Lab is all about fostering your artistic growth, exploring new techniques, and connecting with a vibrant community of fellow artists. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just dipping your toes into the world of collage, this membership is designed for you. From the basics to bold choices, FUN is at the forefront!
So, let's embark on this creative journey together. Get ready for inspiration, education, and the pure joy of making art. I can't wait to see the amazing collages you'll create and the connections you'll forge along the way.
Thousands of students, just like you, have joined Collage-Lab for a journey into collage.

I just started the ABC class and just want to say that the way you've set up the course is fabulous! The documents and videos are so well organized and your instruction in the videos has so much value by delving into technique, considerations, your own examples, etc. It’s really well thought out and executed!

Collage Alphabet showcases a huge range of techniques and ideas and are go-to lessons for whenever I feel uninspired.

I like that there is one class every two weeks, it gives me time to do the exercises without rushing. And there are a lot of exercises in each lesson! So this gives me a lot of fun processes to experiment with. Also, I like that each exercise is explained clearly in writing, not only verbally. And we even get to see Kelly live doing each exercise.
