Our Story: Art Materials Australia

Art Materials Australia was born from a deep love for art supplies. Led by CEO Nicki Comelli, the company’s mission is to make high-quality art supplies accessible to Australian artists. Every day, Art Materials Australia provides products that help artists express themselves and grow creatively. For Nicki, this mission combines her business with her personalpassion for art.

Art is in Our DNA

Art is more than just a career for our family; it is a way of life. Growing up, I was surrounded by art supplies scattered throughout our home, ready for any spontaneous idea. Our father, an artist, would set up between the dining and lounge rooms, making art the centre of our home. Watching him paint, my siblings and I saw how naturally art could blend into everyday life.

Meanwhile, our mother, an alternative businesswoman, believed in fairness and discovery. She encouraged us to embrace challenges and live in our truth. These family influences have shaped Art Materials Australia as we built a company that blends passion with ethical business practices. Today, Art Materials Australia supports artists throughout Australia, uplifting established and emerging creators.

Made for Artists by Artists

Art Materials Australia’s unique advantage lies in the fact that it is made for artists by artists. This shared passion for the arts enables us to deeply understand what artists truly need. Whether it’s sketching or sculpting, each art form demands specific tools. That’s why we offer a diverse range of art supplies, catering to various artistic practices and meeting every artist’s unique needs.

We maintain extensive knowledge of art products, techniques, and trends as an artist-run business. This expertise allows us to make informed recommendations to our customers, whether they are beginners or professionals. Within the company, we offer products across all budgets, ensuring everyone can enjoy creating art. Excellent customer service is equally important to us; we support artists at every step of their journey.

Supporting Australian Artists

We are deeply committed to supporting Australian artists. Our collaborations with local talent aim to showcase their creativity and unique perspectives across the nation. This commitment underscores the importance of supporting local talent and promoting a distinct Australian voice in the global art community.

In addition to highlighting artists, we encompass our own brands: Freaky Frida, Mona’s Smile, Pro Hart Swagger, Van Gogh’s Ear, and Warhol’s Wife. Each brand reflects our mission to provide quality supplies that empower artists to experiment and create confidently. These brands help us continually offer reliable, innovative, and inspiring art supplies for every artist’s needs.

Art Materials for Every Medium

We understand that the right supplies can make all the difference in the creative process. That is why we meticulously curate a selection that covers essentials for every medium, from acrylics to mixed media. Quality is at the heart of what we do, and each product is chosen with the artist’s best interests in mind, ensuring reliable, long-lasting results.

Our premium canvases are especially popular, with styles and finishes that suit various creative needs. These include traditional cotton and linen canvases, like the Belgium linen, available with titanium white or transparent priming. Our range also includes paints, charcoals, and inks, each sourced and crafted to the highest standards for artists who need products they can rely on.

Inspiring Creativity and Connection

At Art Materials Australia, our mission goes beyond simply selling products. We are here to spark creativity and inspire everyone’s inner artist. Building a community where people from all backgrounds come together to learn and grow through art is incredibly rewarding, and we hope to motivate and encourage you on your creative journey.

Our online store offers high-quality materials, educational resources, and guidance, making it easy for artists to find everything they need in one place. Our dedication extends to hosting workshops, tutorials, and art events. Art Materials Australia values connecting with other artists, sharing ideas, and learning collectively. This spirit of growth is essential to us, and we work to make the art world more inclusive.

At Art Materials Australia, we embody the principle of ‘walking the talk’ by continually supporting artists and improving our product range. This dedication to authenticity has made us a trusted name in art supplies. We believe in the transformative power of creativity and aim to inspire and support artists on their journeys.
