One-of-a-kind plush art based on kids' drawings

The works of Lizette Greco + Grecolaborativo are the product of a full family collaboration, Rob and Lizette creating with their young daughter and son. Our plush art is based on the children's drawings and made using only thrifted and recycled materials. We also accept commissions for pieces using drawings from other children. Our aim is to create artwork that celebrates a child's perspective of the world and will hopefully be passed from generation to generation.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or for updates and upcoming shows.
