The Collage Life

Hi! I'm Danielle, the creator of collage art using my favourite objects in the whole world - books!

I've been a voracious reader and collector of books my whole life, and even still have my first Golden Book that was given to me as a baby, A First Book of Sounds. I loved it so much I ate the corners off it.

These days I'm interested in consuming books with my eyes, but I'm also interested in using forgotten and discarded books to create something new and beautiful. To give these lovely objects a new life.

I also love using images from picture books, reference books, magazines and any other paper I can get my hands on to create collage art that is inspired by stories and storytelling. I love making simple art that offers people an invitation to use their imagination and connect with the beauty of the printed word.
