Making something together is one of the greatest gifts you can give.
Designed by an art therapist, Artful Connections is a painting kit for seniors that helps families create together and make the most of the time they have with Mum or Dad.
A painting kit designed to bring families together
- Everything you need arrives in one box.
- Follow Deb's gentle step-by-step video guidance
- Paint together at your own pace.
- Take home more than a painting. Take home a memory you created together.
Loving is the easy part.
The harder part is knowing how to make the most of the time you have together.
Over the years, I've had this conversation with family's time and time again. They aren't looking for another gift for Mum or Dad. They're looking for a reason to sit together, slow down and simply enjoy each other's company. Sometimes all they need is a place to begin. That's why I created Artful Connections.
However life is arranged, meaningful time together is a gift worth giving.
Living Close By
Granny flat or next door
We see each other every day, which I love - but I want us to actually do something together, not just watch TV.
Living Independently
Visiting regularly
"Every visit matters to me. I want our time together to feel like more than just catching up - I want us to make something of it."
Living With You
Sharing your home
"Having them here is everything. I just want to find more ways to make them feel truly present and engaged."
The common thread? You want to connect - you're just not sure how.
Inside Your Artful Connections Box
Everything you need is thoughtfully included - so you can simply open the box, sit down together, and begin.
Art Materials
Everything you need to create together - Australian made Monte Marte acrylic paints, 8 colours, carefully chosen and curated by our art therapist, ready to use straight from the box.
3 Original Templates
Three A4 templates on 300gsm paper, designed by our art therapist especially for your box theme. No blank page. No pressure. Just pick up a brush and follow the lines.
Studio Mess Mat
Your laminated A3 mess mat goes down first and catches everything - so you can focus on creating, not cleaning up.
Brushes
A quality Monte Marte 6-piece brush set - the right brush for every stroke, sized for comfort and ease.
3 Conversation Cards
Crafted to spark stories, laughter and the kind of conversation that lingers long after the paint has dried.
