Big Little Artworks

Where paintings by little artists become big contemporary artworks

Rachel transforms your little artist’s artworks into a display-ready, framed collage capturing a special time in their life

What is a Big Little Artwork?

Rachel brings her collage practice to children’s paintings and drawings, carefully transforming your child’s artworks from kindy and early primary school into one large artwork.

Parents have approached Rachel seeking a meaningful display solution that collates the vast amount of creative output from their child’s early years. The finished product is a large, display-ready collage that captures a special season in the child’s life.

The very first Big Little Artwork was for a child called Albie, a gifted young painter. Albie’s parents got in touch with Rachel to find a creative display solution for Albie’s paintings. They wanted to celebrate his creativity, and working with an artist who could creatively display them seemed like the perfect option.

Albie’s Story

Rachel admired the freedom and joy in Albie’s paintings, and took great care to preserve Albie’s painterly voice throughout the process. Albie’s parents were thrilled seeing the finished product- his Mum said “I just had no idea it would look this good.” The significance of a large, professionally made artwork signalled to Albie how special his creativity is and how much his parents see it and appreciate it.

Thank you, Albie, for being the first Big Little Artist!
