“My son is autistic and primarily nonspeaking. He absolutely loves being in this room! I can tell he likes being near the art. It has a calming effect on him.”

I wanted to be in our playroom as much as my daughter!

I'm especially obsessed with the rainbow confetti clouds! There is no other art like this out there. It makes our baby girl's room such a special place.

A space for learning

I couldn't imagine a more perfect piece of art for a Montessori classroom. We love all things nature, plants, calming, and sensory-based. Having a realistic 3D sized tree that is soft to touch makes the room so cozy. Kids love gathering around for story time. I can't imagine my room without it now.

Neuroscience Informed Design

We are fascinated with how sensory art can transform the energy of a space and the somatic experience of people in it. We design our art to do more than make a room beautiful.
