Art Makes its Own Rules

How we got started

We are three sisters that started Art Eclect Studio in 2016. My two younger sisters are the artists and create the designs while I manage the printing and selling.

We think coloring for adults is a lot of creative fun but did not want to do a coloring book. After some research we realized greeting cards can combine the love of coloring with creating something beautiful and personal to share with family and friends.

We have since had a lot of fun creating all the different card sets and hope you will enjoy coloring them.

Coloring cards

The designs have just the right level of detail to be fun to color and send to friends and family. You can select the colors you use to personalize the card for the person you send it to.

The cards are the perfect size to color in one sitting and personalizing them makes the thought more personal. The inside of the cards are blank for you to add your own message.

Our Artists

Amanda Reyneke

Amanda enjoys art as much as art brings joy to everyday life and stolen moments, in the busy schedules of professional artists as well masters-in-the-making’ and dreamers of ‘One day, I’ll be…’Creating images that will facilitate those daunting first steps of the magical process of creating an artwork yourself’, facilitates and stimulate Amanda’s ever-young dreams of limitless possibilities.

Amanda lectured in Art and Design at Tertiary Institutions for 22 years focusing on drawing – her deep passion – and Textile Design – celebrating color and decorating our everyday living spaces. After leaving formal education, she immersed herself full-time in her art, focusing on drawing and illustration in mixed media.

Art-Eclect Studio, together with her sister Karen, brings together her main interest in drawing, illustrating, and teaching. Their slogan ‘Art makes its own Rules’ encompasses their approach towards, and philosophy about, art and the coloring-in of their images.

Karen Reyneke

Karen’s career has always been involved in various creative fields as a Costumier, Entrepreneur as a Couture Designer, and teacher in Art and Design. Due to the inevitable influence of these genres upon one another her style of work reflects an eclectic quality.

Karen finds experiencing the creative process fascinating and to facilitates it as a teacher even more so. Working without expectations and trusting the process leads to unimaginable possibilities and enjoyment for both student and teacher. The two-dimensional quality of the illustrations reminds her of a simplistic childhood and the various choices when coloring, symbolizes the complexities and colorfulness of adulthood.

Art-Eclect Studio is a continuation of a special creative kinship, with the ‘soul’ intention of providing images for meditative coloring-in activity without any pressure of an expected outcome.
