Painting Aotearoa: Celebrating New Zealand’s Beauty With Help From Local Artists
Here at Native Eye, we're all about celebrating the magic of New Zealand – its stunning landscapes, unique wildlife, and vibrant culture. We've taken the much loved concept of Paint by Numbers and added a Kiwi twist, creating something truly special, with everyday New Zealanders in mind.
While Paint by Numbers is known for its accessibility, we noticed something missing – most designs available featured foreign landscapes and famous landmarks, nothing us Kiwis could truly relate to.
This inspired the creation of Native Eye, our vision to breathe new life into this concept and provide an enjoyable, stress-free activity that enables both New Zealanders and admirers of our beautiful country to paint their own piece of it. Our ultimate aim is to empower individuals to shed any artistic insecurities and embrace their inner artists, all while celebrating the beauty of New Zealand

So, what makes our Paint by Numbers kits truly stand out? We've carefully customised our kits to encapsulate the essence of Aotearoa, using top-quality materials and a level of authenticity that we believe truly represents our New Zealand identity. We aim to make art accessible to both beginners and pros, offering a way to escape life's stresses and take some time for yourself. Once painted, your ready-to-hang canvas becomes a daily reminder of your affection for our magnificent country, an eye-catching masterpiece that brightens your living space.
Teaming Up with Local Artists
Creativity thrives in our country, and to ensure our paint kits authentically represent our nation's essence we joined forces with talented Kiwi artists. With the help of these individuals, deeply connected to New Zealand's beauty, we have created Paint Kits that embody the spirit of our nation – from photographs capturing our stunning landscapes and our unique wildlife to illustrations celebrating our rich culture and vibrant personality. There's something for everyone, whether you're an art enthusiast or simply someone who loves the great outdoors.
