where magazines get a second life

mixed-media collage art • commissions • prints • workshops

meet the artist

Hi, I'm Via, the artist behind Girls Got Chops.

With a background in fashion and visual storytelling, I've always been drawn to beautiful imagery, thoughtful design, and finding creative ways to tell a story. Today, I create one-of-a-kind mixed-media collages from recycled magazines, transforming forgotten pages into original works of art.

What I love most about collage is that it invites you to trust your eye. There are no rules, only the images, colors, and textures you're naturally drawn to. By following those instincts, familiar fragments come together to create something completely new and uniquely your own.

Through Girls Got Chops, you'll find original artwork, prints, custom commissions, and hands-on collage workshops all inspired by the belief that magazines still have plenty of life left in them.
