Art never came easy to me. I found putting a pencil or paint brush to a blank piece of paper an incredibly intimidating experience. That coupled with the art curriculum at high school that didn’t favour us art-amateurs, I never felt it was worth trying. I thought, because I didn’t fit my school’s idea of an Artist, then perhaps I wasn’t one.
Years later, I rediscovered my creativity and redefined what an “Artist” was to me. I realised I grew up with them all around me - talented cooks, dedicated gardeners, skilled builders, accomplished pianists, passionate musos, inspired painters and imaginative writers.
It is likely that you too are an Artist of some kind.
Sweet Art was born in 2020, sparked by my search for a quality "Paint by Numbers" kit that didn’t involve a traditional canvas (spoiler: it simply didn’t exist!). Half-jokingly, I suggested to my talented artist brother, Graedon, that we should turn some of his paintings into "Paint by Numbers." We laughed it off at the time, but a few months later, I realised I was serious about the idea. That’s when our journey truly began!
At Sweet Art, Amy and I aim to inspire the innate creativity that lives within each of us. By creating a bridge between our incredible Fine Artists in Aotearoa, and us, the amateur Artists. Our collaborative Sweet Art Paint Kits give everyone the chance to feel like Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama or Van Gogh (whatever your flavour).
To bring this Sweet Art vision to life, we collaborated with StickerDot, an online sticker printing company that specialises in high-quality custom stickers, business cards, and swing tags. StickerDot generously gifted us 100 free Sweet Art stickers, which we proudly use to build brand awareness and add a polished, professional touch to our products. Their custom stickers connect customers to the Sweet Art brand long after the painting experience ends. We’re grateful to StickerDot for helping us add this creative, personal touch to our products!
