Art Materials Australia: A Journey in Creative Excellence
A single comment from a long-time art supplies representative sparked the idea for Art Materials Australia. “Art supplies are not like fashion,” he said, igniting a vision within me, Nicki Comelli, CEO and founder of Art Materials Australia. After years spent sourcing supplies and teaching adults and kids in our studio, I craved materials that inspired creativity. The market felt stagnant, yet I saw the potential for fresh, innovative resources. Over a decade ago, this spark drove us to launch Art Materials Australia brands—products designed to deliver new energy and exceptional quality to artists worldwide.
A Mission for Quality and Style
As an Australian artist passionate about abstract culture, pop art, and fashion, I wanted materials that matched my artistic vision and pushed boundaries. Art Materials Australia brands emerged to meet the needs of beginners and professionals alike, blending style with functionality. Our materials deliver high quality and visual appeal, crafted to bring every artist’s ideas to life with ease and excellence.
Building Art Materials Australia Brands: The Journey Begins
Our journey began with a commitment to creating top-quality canvases. Having supplied affordable, durable canvases to educators for years, I understood what artists valued most. We launched the Art Materials Australia (AMA) canvas brand to meet the demand for canvases that offered durability, affordability, and performance. Artists quickly embraced the strength and style these canvases brought to their work.
Seeing AMA’s success, we elevated our offerings with a premium line: Warhol’s Warhol’s Wife canvases. This collection takes durability and elegance further, featuring robust cotton, heavy timber frames, and gallery-finished edges. Warhol’s Warhol’s Wife canvases soon became the preferred choice for artists seeking reliable, long-lasting canvases with a sophisticated edge.
Introducing Pro Hart Swagger: Brushes Reimagined
Our success with canvases propelled us into brushes. We envisioned a line of brushes as professional in function as they were in appearance. This vision came to life with Pro Hart Swagger, our range of interlocked hog hair brushes.
Developing Pro Hart Swagger involved years of research, experimentation, and refinement. We wanted brushes that outperformed and outlasted anything else on the market. Every Pro Hart Swagger brush offers a smooth, balanced feel that supports various art forms. Designed to handle delicate details and bold strokes, these brushes bring versatility that artists love.
Expanding Art Materials Australia Brands: A Family of Creativity
With Pro Hart Swagger complete, we felt inspired to expand our range. Every product we developed became a joy to create, involving rounds of testing, fine-tuning, and exploring different materials for the perfect formula. Our excitement led to three new brands: Freaky Frida, Mona’s Smile, and Van Gogh’s Ear, each representing a distinct approach to creativity.
Freaky Frida encourages bold, unique expressions, inviting artists to take risks and embrace individuality. Mona’sMona’s Smile centres on joy in the creative process, offering materials that inspire experimentation and play. Finally, Van Gogh’s Ear combines tradition with modern twists, helping artists explore the harmony of classic and contemporary styles. Together, these brands provide canvases, brushes, and materials suited to every artist’sartist’s needs.
Quality, Creativity, and Australian Design
Our dedication to quality and individuality sets Art Materials Australia brands apart. Designed by Australian artists, each product combines artistic expertise with personal experience. We source materials globally, ensuring the best quality for every product.
Each brush and canvas undergoes rigorous testing, meeting high standards that artists can rely on. This commitment to quality and artistic integrity has established Art Materials Australia as a trusted name, allowing artists to focus solely on their craft.
