Children

Some works of art become more than part of a collection, they become part of a childhood. Families often choose paintings from our gallery for children, drawn to the vivid colors, joyful spirit, and wonderful abundance of stories waiting within them. Children and people of all ages can enjoy the stories we have written for each painting, or, as we especially hope, imagine stories entirely their own. Naive art speaks to this sense of wonder. Optimistic and deeply human, it transforms the familiar moments of everyday life, a bus ride, a celebration, a busy street, an afternoon among friends and into worlds filled with color, warmth, and possibility. Remarkable artists from around the world created these paintings to invite people to discover that there can be something extraordinary hidden within the ordinary.
