Hello, blossoming artists! If you're on here, it must be because you like to make things. Well, so do I! I’m Anna Lena Feunekes, and I'm an illustrator and author specialising in collage illustration. Well.. and I believe floral collage is the perfect creative outlet to dip your toes into the world of creativity. Let’s explore why this art form is such a fantastic outlet, especially for beginners.
it’s forgiving
Unlike some art forms, collage doesn’t demand perfection. If you make a mistake, you can cover it up with another layer or piece of paper. This makes it a stress-free way to explore your creativity. I dipped my toes in it after experiencing burnout - and it helped me rediscover my love of being messy with my art.
endless possibilities
Floral collage allows for endless experimentation. You can play with colors, textures, and materials without worrying about getting it “wrong.” Because before you paste it on your paper.. nothing sticks!
therapeutic and relaxing
The process of cutting, pasting, and arranging can be incredibly soothing. It’s a wonderful way to unwind and express yourself at the same time. I tend to feel my muscles relax and my jaw unclench as I'm just snipping away.
affordable and accessible
You don’t need expensive supplies to start collaging. Just gather some scrap paper, a bit of glue, and you’re ready to create. You will definitely surprise yourself.
To top it all off: the applications for your work in collage are endless. I have made a successful existence as a freelance artist by working with collage. Here are some of the projects I've recently worked on - all created with collage!
