Digital Collages That Tell a Story

I'm going to share a project with you that is very personal to me and really made me truly fall in love with the process of creating digital collages. 

My mom passed away in late 2019, and I felt compelled to create a piece that truly represented her spirit. As I worked on this collage, I reflected on the joyful moments and places that brought her happiness—like her love for nature, flowers, stargazing, and the beach.

I incorporated elements that were special to her, such as lighthouses, roosters, and even lyrics from "Amazing Grace," which held great meaning in her life. I also added little illustrative halos above her head to symbolize her as my angel now.

Learning to capture someone's memory in a fun, unique and very personal way made such a huge impact on me, both as an artist and a person, that I couldn't help but create a whole class where I go over my process, techniques and inspiration.

Introducing...Digital Collages That Tell a Story

In this class, I take you on a journey of true storytelling. We'll go beyond the random cut-and-paste methods and learn how to incorporate meaningful elements.

Whether you want to tell a deeply personal story, create a timeline of moments, or capture emotions, this class helps you explore digital art with purpose.

You'll learn to create your own story by drawing from the exercises we’ll be doing together. When I began using these practices, I found that I was more connected to my pieces, feeling empowered, excited, and relaxed. I want the same for you.

I'll also show you my favorite places to source inspiration and royalty-free images that you can use in your work, and we'll go over the trickier parts of Procreate, such as layering and masks.

When you see a collage, what story does it tell?

Whether you want to use photos of loved ones, create a visual timeline, or explore abstract storytelling through objects, this class is your creative playground.
