Welcome to Kids Deserve Art, a mommy-owned online art gallery. I started this gallery because I love kids and I love art--and because I believe cultivating children's appreciation for art can significantly enrich their lives. Hence my mission: to bring genuine art into children's lives!

The pieces in this gallery are all created--most of them hand-painted--by professional Canadian artists. And, they are all ready-to-hang!

I have often thought about converting this gallery to an e-commerce, click-and-buy store -- like Amazon.com. But, when dealing with art, I prefer a more grassroots apprach, so you're sure to get exactly the piece you want with the customizations you desire (where applicable).

We welcome your submissions. Please send submissions here.

Enjoy the gallery!

Testimonials:

*Jack LOVES his monkey brothers painting! It hangs above his change table
and completely mesmerizes him each time. Maybe it's the colours or the
sparkle but he stares at them and smiles! -- Tia, Toronto, Canada

*We used Kids Deserve Art and we just loved it! We actually wanted a growth chart to match a special decor in our babys room and the artist was able to duplicate it very well. It was really great, and refreshing, to have an artist who was willing to do some custom art at the request of the customer. We were so happy with the first growth chart that we ordered a second one to match our older daughters room too! -- Tara and Gidon, Chicago, USA

*My son's dressers looked ordinary prior to purchasing hand-painted knobs from Kids Deserve Art. Now, the dressers look whimsical, colourful and fun! Not only do they look great, but they are a wonderful learning tool. My son loves pointing out the different paintings on the knobs and telling me what they are. We wanted to thank you for having such fantastic products on your site. I love that he develops an early appreciation for art, and I get to support the talented artists. -- Jenifer-Lyn, Toronto, Canada

* Kids Deserve Art has really filled a void in our marketplace. There are wonderful paintings to stimulate the minds of children and parents alike. The other products such as growth charts and little hand painted drawer handles have made novel gift items. It has been wonderful to give such original and personal gifts to my friends' children. I particularly love the little night table lamp for the nursery. It is a real pleasure to shop on line with Kids Deserve Art. -- Phyllis, Toronto, Canada

* I just received my zebra print from your website, and I am SO PLEASED with it!  I have been telling everyone I know about it.  It arrived in perfect condition, and I chuckled when I saw how much stuffing you used to pack it!  Now that it's here, I think I am going to hang it somewhere where everyone can see it, instead of just me!  I'm thinking the dining room.  It's even more colorful in person.  The PayPal thing worked well, too - I'm going to be sure and tell all my friends that they should order from you!  Together we will make NAFTA a good name! -- Jennifer, Ohio, USA

* I've wanted to get a growth chart for my little boy since he was born. But I couldn't find one that I liked. When I saw the adorable ones on the 'Kid's Deserve Art' website I was so excited. The airplane growth chart that I bought is sooo adorable and looks amazing in my son's room! I love it! Thanks Haley! -- Tova, Toronto, Canada
