We are a comprehensive visual hub in the heart of Katikati, servicing professional & personal projects of all shapes & sizes with all the love & care that a family owned & operated business can offer.

Our services include professional print production, art reproduction, high quality large format printing, custom framing, graphic design, photography & art classes in conjunction with renowned artist Yana Meech. As well as supplying local artist prints & products, high quality art supplies such as Winsor Newton paints and Fabriano paper and much more.

The family team consists of:

The Ma, Kim, she manages admin & accounts.
Her professional background in coordination & organisation ensures we source the right materials for the right price.

The Pa, Kevin, in charge of all things custom framing.
With a life-long background in DIY, his hardware know-how & attention to detail produces picture perfect framing.

And The Son, Aidan, the designer in the outfit.
Sporting several art & design qualifications, complemented by a neuro-divergent knowledge of precise technical information, his experience is sure to bring your vision to life.

Several years back Kev & Kim moved out to Katikati to enjoy life on the coast, while Aidan developed his career as an illustrator in Auckland. Fast-forwarding to post-pandemic, we were all feeling the effects when we saw a local business up for sale and immediately recognised the potential we had as a family to turn the shop into something special. Needless to say we took the plunge and here we are years later with a comprehensive creative space quickly becoming a staple in the community.

Our involvement & dedication in Katikati has lead to projects like leading a youth mural project for the local community centre, supporting majorly successful fundraising events via designing & printing marketing material, working with local artists to support their creative endeavors and catching the attention of Yana who saw the vision in its infancy and jumped onboard to collaborate toward creating our unique art classes.
