Heirloom pieces created
From loose preschool sketches to everyday drawings, I’ve transformed hundreds of childhood drawings into permanent framed family heirlooms.
TURN YOUR CHILD'Sscribbles INTO AFAMILY HEIRLOOM
Custom-made collages by Zsofia to preserve your
children's memories
Drowning in Kid Art?
Love their artwork, but hate the clutter?Constant chaos. Fridge mess. You feel you can’t throw your kid’s scribbles away, but keeping them means constant clutter.
Every child is an artist, but every parent runs out of storage space.
Between busy schedules and endless paper piles,
organizing years of artwork feels impossible.
But it doesn’t have to stay like that.
Before
After
KinCollage turns the memories of childhood into a custom, modern fine art family heirloom. You provide the drawings by mail, and I curate them into a single, cohesive collage.
No more ‘messy rooms’.
No more ‘we can only keep one’.
No more parent guilt about throwing them out.
Don’t hide their magic in a box.
Elevate it. Make them proud.

Testimonials
“the kids love seeing their art on proud display”
Thank you Sophie for our beautiful art, it has exceeded expectations! The kids love seeing their art on proud display, much better than stored away in the cupboard. And we get so many compliments from visitors, it’s a real centrepiece!
“this isn't just a beautiful picture, but a truly personal and irreplaceable keepsake of their childhood”
We’ve accumulated so many children's drawings over the years that we treasure, yet most of them end up tucked away in the back of drawers. A few favorites always make it onto the fridge with magnets, but unfortunately, space is limited. Yet how wonderful it would be if, instead of just putting them away, we could admire them every single day! As an artist, Zsófi transforms kids' drawings into a single, extraordinary piece of fine art. She arranges them into a cohesive composition while preserving the charm and story of each individual piece, topping it off with her own artistic details. This way, our children's little drawings are no longer hidden in drawers, but can hang together in a worthy place on our home's wall. For us, this isn't just a beautiful picture, but a truly personal and irreplaceable keepsake of their childhood.
“look into the joy of childhood, the one my family has created”
Not just paper, colour and glue it’s layers of laughter, joy, smiles, mess, tears memories the art work makes my heart glow. Friends stop and look it offers a moment to pause and look into the joy of childhood, the one my family has created. Sophie has artistically brought together moments of my mothering journey. My love, my time with my individual children to one canvas to delve into remembering to reflect to see the moments on one canvas is magical.

FAQs
How many pieces of art should I provide?
Quantity depends on your chosen canvas size, but typically 30 to 60 pieces allow for a diverse range of colors and textures.
Do you add your own artistic marks or paint to the work?
Yes. I may add subtle painted details and my signature hand-drawn patterns where needed to connect the composition and to complete the story while keeping your child’s artwork at its heart.
Are custom sizes or bespoke framing available?
Yes! Every standard commission already includes custom solid oak framing. If you need a specific custom canvas dimension or alternative timber finishes, we can easily accommodate custom requests. Contact us for more.
What is the final piece created on, and is it ready to hang?
Crafted on professional-grade cotton canvas with a protective top varnish, each piece is stretched to a 32mm depth and finished in a natural Oak frame, arriving ready to hang as a statement feature in your home.
Why is a KinCollage fine art a premium investment?
Every collage is a bespoke piece of fine art developed over time. Your child's original drawings are individually hand-cut, thoughtfully curated, and physically montaged onto premium canvas. Finished on archival gallery stretchers and encased in custom solid oak framing, each commission is a museum-quality heirloom crafted to last for generations.
How do you ensure the artwork is protected over time?
The completed collage is carefully sealed and varnished to protect its surface and preserve the colours and details for years to come.
Is there a ‘perfect’ age to capture their art?
There is no perfect age. Any stage that holds meaning for your family can become a beautiful visual record, from early scribbles through to more detailed childhood artwork.
What is the expected timeline for a commission?
The estimated timeframe for design curation and framing is approximately six weeks from the moment your artwork arrives at our studio, depending on the scale and complexity of your piece. Please allow additional standard shipping time for delivery to your doorstep.
Can multiple children be featured on a single canvas?
Absolutely. Artwork from siblings can be thoughtfully combined into one cohesive family piece while preserving the personality of each child.
How do logistics and shipping work?
After your consultation, you will receive guidance for securely packing and mailing the artwork. Delivery arrangements and shipping costs are confirmed as part of the commission process.
Do you offer Gift Vouchers?
Yes. Digital vouchers are available for any amount and make a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father's day, or for Christmas. The KinCollage digital voucher allows the recipient to curate their favourite childhood memories into a bespoke work of fine art.
What types of media are suitable for a collage?
Drawings, paintings, photographs, cards, fabric and lightweight sculptural pieces can all be considered. We will review your collection together before you send it.
Can I see the layout before it is permanently glued down?
Yes. The proposed composition can be reviewed before the artwork is permanently assembled, giving you confidence in the final direction. Please let us know if you would like to view it beforehand.
Do you offer installment or split payment options?
Yes! You can choose to pay in full upfront or select our 3 fortnightly installment option at checkout. Our 3-part installment plan allows you to split your commission over 4 weeks (3 fortnightly payments). A 15% plan & administration fee is included in the installment schedule to cover manual invoicing and extended studio scheduling. Your piece enters production immediately, with final dispatch following your third payment.
