Our Beginnings

Hey there! We're Allison and Melissa Crary, and we've got a story to share about finding joy and connection through art during the wild ride that was 2020.

You see, I (Allison) have spent years honing my craft as a professional artist, while my sister Melissa brings her producer expertise to the table. When the world went into lockdown, we found ourselves itching to spread a little creativity and happiness wherever we could.

The Big Idea

So, we came up with an idea: why not send out art supplies to our family members and host virtual painting sessions on Zoom? With my guidance as an artist, these sessions quickly became a highlight for everyone involved—our little sanctuary of creativity amidst the chaos.

As word spread and friends started asking to join in, we realized we were onto something big. And that's how Time For Art was born—a place where anyone, regardless of experience, can explore their artistic side and have fun doing it.

How We Do It

At Time For Art, I believe in offering an unparalleled art experience that goes beyond just following instructions. I hand-draw every drawing and painting kit, ensuring that each one is custom-designed to make the creative process both enjoyable and educational. Unlike paint by numbers or follow-the-leader kits, my approach focuses on teaching key fundamentals of painting and drawing, empowering you to develop real skills with each project.

My approach to teaching is simple: one project at a time, focusing on building fundamental skills along the way. No more feeling overwhelmed or unsure of where to start. With each carefully curated painting kit and step-by-step video tutorial, I'm here to guide you through the process and help you discover your inner artist.

Why We're Passionate About Art

Over the years, I've delved into numerous scientific studies highlighting the incredible benefits of art across all age groups. Art isn't just about creating pretty pictures—it's a powerful tool for self-expression, fostering essential skills like critical thinking and problem-solving, and boosting self-confidence.

Here at Time for Art, we've created a platform to not only share my passion for art but also to help alleviate stress, enhance cognitive function, and build a sense of community. Engaging in artistic endeavors isn't just a hobby—it's a pathway to lifelong learning and a source of purpose and fulfillment, even in later years.
