"I made this for you." Five little words, shouted with a child's innocent joy, transform Kindergarten paintings into instant family heirlooms. Warpaint Project Inc. Founders and resident artists, Aubre’ and Joseph, recall handmade gifts as necessary replacements for buying gifts unable to find anything that felt right. What they discovered is how paintings layer more than paint on top of canvas; where storytelling joined with talent; created in a state of deep emotion, and love, became less of a gift of an object and more of a once-in-a-lifetime experience only ART can provide. 

A handmade gift, no matter its quality, holds a loud measurement of effort, focus, and intent; where the eyes of the beholder reveal a reaction that few will ever inspire in a lifetime of trying. A reaction that says they believe you when you say, ‘you deserve a gift that does not exist twice in the world, which cannot be found before or ever again, made to belong to you who inspired me to create it" It also says, “You deserve to know an enormous effort of near impossibility that I will happily go through so I might see that precious reaction you give when you could not be happier.”  

Gift-giving is a sacred environment where the recipient draws conclusions about how the other person feels. To choose any gift for the sake of the exchange, steals what could have been a soul-defining moment of extraordinary significance. Get it right and uplift their world; get it wrong and it injures your relationship. This is fragile place where Artists belong, but not every artist yielding a paintbrush and catchy signature, no, this is a place created by Artists of a soulful intent; whose art can heal; whose paintings realign the planets; who, in a single image, tell a story so powerful everyone who sees the painting, feels it. 

Over the next few pages, you will uncover an extraordinary couple whose artistic talent became a loving gesture where families commission a surprise painting for someone they love. Every painting you see was carefully designed, to every detail, giving families who do not have artistic ability to experience the incredible love in, “We made this for you.”  

Whatever your purpose here, be it in passing, in memory of, to learn, or connect, we hope by the time you leave this website. you have seen love, felt love, and walk away inspired to do something for someone you care about.

With all we are, every single day,
