Release pent-up emotions and spread happiness
CEO & Founder, Denise Schmitz used art therapy to overcome a major personal setback in her life and realized the transformative power it had which drove her to make We Love Art into the success that it is today. Art helps you connect with yourself and provides an opportunity to acquire a new passion while releasing emotions through a healthy outlet. Whether you attend We Love Art’s Paint & Grape evenings or paint in the comfort of your home with their handcrafted boxes, life is bound to feel more colourful with We Love Art.
Stay mindful
With everyone addicted to phones and social media all day (and night) long, it is important to take some time off to truly unplug and be present in the moment. Painting reconnects you to the present moment by helping your mind focus on the task at hand rather than dividing your attention.
