For years, I’ve been teaching, demoing, experimenting — and don’t get me wrong, I love every bit of it.
But so much of my creative energy has gone into teaching art, that I started missing the experience of making art for realz.
Art that isn’t just a sample.
Art that isn’t just a test piece or a demo reel.
Art that belongs in a frame.

About three years ago, I had this little spark of an idea for a yearlong class. Something deliciously creative and playful — a feast of experimentation, served in small, flavorful bites.
But I wasn’t ready yet.
So, I did what many of us do when inspiration hits at the wrong time: I stuck a pin in it.
And you know what happens to ideas that matter?
They don’t go away.
They wait.
They simmer.
They whisper, “Hey, remember me?”
So I finally listened.
At Collage-Lab, we believe that art should be fun, freeing, and full of happy accidents.
Each week brings a new project to spark curiosity and keep your creativity flowing.
Every month, join a live Co-Create session to connect, share, and make together in community.
You’ll explore a wide variety of materials and techniques — from textiles and texture to wax, resin, paper, and beyond — all through short, approachable lessons designed for play, not perfection.
Inside you'll find:
Structure without pressure
Inspiration without overwhelm
A community that lifts you up
Permission to be you
Rediscover the joy of making art that feels alive, authentic, and personal without overthinking. Each week’s bite-sized project keeps your creativity flowing and your ideas fresh.

Experiment with new materials, techniques, and approaches in a supportive, low-pressure environment. You’ll build both your toolbox and your trust in your own creative instincts.

By the end of the year, you’ll have a cohesive collection of work that reflects your unique voice. Art you’ll love, learn from, and be proud to share with the world.
Since joining Collage-Lab a year and a half ago, I have discovered my creative side! New to collage and art, it's been a great learning opportunity for me. Kelly's talent and experience make her a wonderful teacher, encouraging us to open our eyes to new art techniques and skills. I have learned so much and have enjoyed every minute. On top of that, our community is filled with beginners and skilled artists who connect and support one and other in our creative journey.

You won't "fall behind" - you'll simply pick up the next bite. The video llessons and guides are yours for life.
No. All levels can thrive here - beginners and seasoned artists alike. I'll walk you through each new technique and each project has a detailed guide that you can download.
Most are 30–60 minutes. Short enough to fit your week. Deep enough to inspire real work.
We make together, talk process, explore techniques, and build momentum. You'll get to know each other on Zoom and in our private classroom group (not on Facebook). This is your monthly accountability, and an opportunity to share.
I'll share a full supply list, but I believe in "use what you have" and will offer ideas to improvise or substitute. Some of the techniques will require specialty supplies (like encaustic wax and resin), but we will use those items more than once throughout the year and you can determine if you want to explore those techniques or not.
No, this is a standalone experience, a one-time investment, and a work-at-your-own-pace way to explore, experiment, and create.
