About Us
Exquisitive Designs is a small, family-run business built on a love of colour, creativity and the joy of making something with your own two hands.
Hi, I'm the mum behind the paintbrush!
I'm a QLD mum who absolutely loves all things creative, and Exquisitive Designs is where my love of creativity comes to life.
It all started six years ago, when I created a set of baby animal prints for my son's nursery. Friends and family fell in love with them, and those little prints grew into a business. Today our nursery art prints sit alongside hand painted rocks, boxed rock sets, acrylic signs and rock painting parties.
Every art piece is designed with care, and every rock is painted by hand, so no two are ever exactly the same.
And if you spot a kookaburra or two around here, that's no accident! Kookaburras are my absolute favourite. Their cheeky laugh and big personalities never fail to make me smile, which is why you'll find one keeping me company in my portrait and a baby kookaburra in our Australian nursery prints.
When you shop with us, you're supporting a local, family-run Queensland small business, not a big faceless warehouse. Every order helps a mum keep doing what she loves, keeps our local markets thriving, and helps us bring screen-free creativity to more families through our rock painting parties. Thank you, it truly means the world to us!
Why creativity matters to me
Painting, artwork and creating have always been a passion of mine, and a big part of looking after my own mental health. When I pick up a brush, the busy thoughts quieten down. It's calming, it's mindful, and it gives me a little pocket of time that is just for me.
In a world full of screens, I truly believe in the importance of putting the devices down and doing something creative with your hands. It doesn't matter if you think you're "not artistic". Creativity isn't about talent or getting it perfect. It's about enjoying the process, having a go and seeing what you can make.
And that feeling when you hold something you created by hand? It's massive. That sense of pride and accomplishment is exactly what I love sharing, whether it's through my artwork or watching someone proudly show off the rock they painted at one of our parties.
Creativity is for everyone
Whatever your age, stage or skill level, there's so much to gain from making something yourself.
Good for the mind
Painting is a calming, mindful break that helps you slow down, switch off and simply enjoy the moment.
For all ages & levels
From little ones to grandparents, first-timers to seasoned crafters, everyone can join in and have fun.
Screen-free time
A chance to put the phone down, get your hands busy and connect with the people around you.
Pride in what you make
There's nothing like the sense of accomplishment that comes from holding something you created by hand.
"You don't need to be an artist to create. You just need to pick up a brush and give it a go."

From nursery walls to hands-on parties, there's something special for every family.
