Collaborative Artwork
Thrifting and collaborative family art - does it get any better?
A family that creates together, stays together. The family behind the blog, EzraZoe spends time thrifting and when they come across a painting on canvas that doesn’t necessarily appeal to their style, they take it as an opportunity to reimagine it as their own. Whether you completely turn the work back to a blank canvas or work off the original artist’s vision, it’s a thrifty and collaborative way to get more original art in your life.
