The Paper Garden: Community Collage Art Initiative

The Paper Garden is a space for everyone to create artwork openly, without judgment, instruction, or cost to the attendee! As an independent artist, I created The Paper Garden to offer a collage booth where anyone, regardless of ability or age, can come and explore the world of collage and hands-on art-making.

At The Paper Garden, I provide an array of materials — from magazines and comic books to textured papers to stickers to cardstock — that allow you to craft your own one-of-a-kind collages.

 

Whether you’re an experienced artist or new to creating, I aim to provide a space where you can get messy, have fun, and make art that’s truly yours.

 

What I Offer:

Interactive Collage Stations: Dive into the world of collage with paper, magazines, and other materials to create something unique to you.

Workshops & Events: Join me for in-person events at festivals, birthday parties, community centers, arts events, and other experiences.

Custom Collage Kits: Take a piece of The Paper Garden home with you! My collage kits make it easy to explore creativity at your own pace.

 

Whether you’re creating for fun, healing, or personal growth, I’m here to help guide you through the process and encourage your creative journey. Let’s Grow Together.

What Makes The Paper Garden Special?


No Rules, Just Art: There’s no right or wrong way to create art!

Inclusive & Welcoming: All ages and abilities are encouraged to participate.

Sustainable Art: Many of our materials are upcycled, donated, or reused.
