During the 2022 global pandemic, many turned to art for comfort and connection. It became a powerful way to slow down, recharge, and express ourselves. Yet, access to quality, affordable supplies often stood in the way of creativity.

We offer essential, compact art supplies and studio accessories for students, educators, hobbyists, and beginners—thoughtfully designed, easy to carry, and always ready when inspiration strikes.

"Creativity should be effortless and enjoyable. Art isn’t just about making something—it’s about self-expression, connection, and finding joy in the process."
— Sherry Gu, Founder & CEO
