WELCOME TO THE
LITTLE SHOP OF CURIOSITIES…
After travelling the world in pursuit of the best materials and resources for fine artists, I am so excited and proud to now stock and represent brands I believe in. We work closely together to make sure you receive the very best materials. I have carefully picked materials, supplies, books and prints from my close friends. The quality is in-comparable. I have watched these companies grow, research and develop, they are all small family businesses or artists like us - and that is important to me.
Let’s support the little companies. Simply put, these products are the best out there.
Enjoy my collection of curiosities (which is always growing, just ask Joe & Amy!)
Thank you for your support.
