About Us
From Passion to Purpose
Our Story
Shop Art Studio began in 2023, started by a family who truly loves creating. From painting together to collecting art books and snapping photos, art has always been our way of bonding.
The studio was founded by two brothers:
-
Simon, who’s all about ideas, animation, and keeping things running smoothly.
-
Max, the artist with a gift for design and a YouTube channel where he teaches others how to create.
Together, they’ve won school art awards, but their bigger dream was to help others. That’s why they launched Brushes and Dreams in 2025, a charity that gives art supplies to people who need them, so everyone has a chance to express themselves through art.
Shop Art Studio is more than a store. It’s a place full of creativity and kindness, built to make art more accessible to all.
