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. 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

Behind every design is Kerrie Bellisario, a contemporary 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.
