About Us

Welcome to It's a Colorful Life Where Art Meets the Everyday

At It's a Colorful Life, we believe that art shouldn't be confined to gallery walls—it should be woven into the fabric of your daily experience. Our store transforms contemporary collage art into beautifully crafted everyday objects, from journals and mugs to home décor and accessories. Each piece is designed to spark joy, inspire creativity, and remind you that life is meant to be lived in full color.

Every product features original artwork that layers vibrant hues, textured elements, handwritten text, and found imagery into compositions that tell stories of beauty, simplicity, and renewal. These aren't just functional items—they're daily companions that encourage you to pause, reflect, and find meaning in the ordinary moments.

Meet the Artist: Kerrie Bellisario

Behind every design is artist Kerrie Bellisario, a contemporary interdisciplinary artist whose work has been celebrated in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and The Baltimore Sun. With a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from the University of Connecticut, Kerrie has dedicated her career to exploring the transformative power of art. With a strong belief that art can be a source of renewal—for individuals, communities, and the world, she has dedicated more than 30 years as an art professor, teacher, curator and museum leader.  Championing the role of art in creating economic opportunity and social connection through her nonprofit work, now, through It's a Colorful Life, Kerrie brings that same philosophy to you.

Our Mission: Joy Through Art and Color

Our mission is simple but profound: to bring joy into people's lives through art and color. We believe that surrounding yourself with beauty isn't a luxury—it's essential. Whether you're sipping morning coffee from one of our vibrant mugs, journaling your thoughts in a collage-covered notebook, or adding a bold throw pillow to your living space, you're inviting creativity and positivity into your world.
