ABOUT

Welcome to Wilder Collage!

Wilder Collage began in 2020 as a place to share the work of contemporary artists around the world. It’s been evolving, and in 2022 launched with 30 founding members as an official membership community powered by Patreon.

Wilder Collage is having meaningful conversations around collage and those who create it. We are increasing the visibility of collage artists around the globe. Wilder Collage provides space for artists to connect and share together.

If you’d like to officially join the group, check out the Patreon to become a member. To see what’s coming up, check out the CALL CALENDAR.

Meet me, the founder, Elyse’ Jokinen!

Hi, I’m Elyse’. A passionate visual artist working primarily in analog collage. I began making collage art at a young age and was blown away when I plugged into the collage community on Instagram. I never knew there were so many artists out there doing what I was doing. Not long after, Wilder was born as a way to stay connected. It’s continuously evolving but the mission is the same… community, connection and conversation around the medium we love!

I love reading, black and white photography, and getting lost in paper scraps while classic rock streams through my speakers.
When I’m not facilitating at Wilder, you can find me wandering my local bookstore, shooting photography (mostly of my family) or taking a class on Peloton as an #ArtBreak.

My work and creative voice have been featured on many platforms including Collé, Contemporary Collage Magazine, PxP Contemporary, The Art Queens, Create! Podcast, Visionary Art Collective, Women United Art Magazine and more!
