Welcome to a haven of colour.
Unique art supplies, books and lessons to help you create with freedom!
I’m a professional artist who loves art supplies so much that I started designing my own. I share my mixed media techniques through Livestreams, workshops and a series of best-selling books.
On this site you will find the hundreds of art supplies I have developed. Each one has the intention to make creating art a more joyful experience so you will find that they all work together and offer many benefits over regular art supplies.
Art wants to make its way from the heart of you, down through your hands and into the world. And I can help you with the highest quality, thoughtfully planned and researched supplies and resources!

What will your story be after you find Jane?
Before Jane
My art life was non existent before I discovered Jane’s workshops and art supplies. I didn’t know how to use any art supplies or how to draw a face. I hadn’t drawn since highschool and never felt inspired by anything. That is until I found out about Jane.
After Jane
Today, I’ve never been this creatively inspired. I feel like my creative cup is full bow that I’ve discovered Jane.I became instantly gripped by her art philosophy (be kind to your art and use your supplies).I soon caught rainbowitis became totally obsessed with her art supplies and books. love Jane’s bubbly personality and her unique way of teaching.

Before Jane
I was one of those children who could draw. Art, even at an early age, was a strong part of my identity. My parents strongly discouraged me from drawing – in fact they even confiscated my pencils and paper. They thought I was wasting my time. When I got to high school, it was worse.”You’re not that good” were my art teacher’s words. So I stopped. Just like that. My heart was broken, and I didn’t feel like myself any more.
After Jane
When I found Jane’s Beautiful Faces book, opening the covers of that book was like coming home again. Jane’s teaching style is gentle, joyous, loving and encouraging. I haven’t looked back. That little girl who could draw, is drawing again.
Chrissy, Australia
Before Jane
I am a 100% disabled veteran. During my military service, I suffered two major traumas. Then About six years ago I couldn’t even get out of bed. I eventually found my voice again and was able to tell my story, grieve for my traumas of ptsd, mst, and major depression. But what was missing in my life was creativity.
After Jane
I started watching Jane’s videos and loved having fun and playing with art. Jane wants everyone to feel like the artist that we all are no matter what skill level. Because of Jane Davenport helping me find the artist that I am, I can now help other women veterans discover that same joy. Truly I love your products and honestly, I am always looking for more.

Art Enriches My Life!
I started drawing as a child and basically never stopped.
My parents encouraged me and at school I was a ‘kid who could draw’. I dearly wanted to become a fashion Illustrator and went on to study both in Australia and Paris (ooh la-la!). I realised my dream and added textile design, styling, fashion design and photography to my skill set while living in London.
Although I loved living so close to Europe, eventually the English winters got the best of me, and I decided to return to Australia, met my now husband and we moved to Byron Bay for the beauty of the region and the surf. We opened an Art Gallery and I started to teach small weekend art workshops.
My passion for drawing and painting grew and grew! I became an expert about Mixed Media art supplies, started teaching online and was invited to write a book about my processes…it was a best seller! I started to collaborate with art & craft supply companies on my own collections of colour sets and supplies, such as Daniel Smith, Schmincke, American Crafts, Gelli Arts, Spellbinders, Cosmic Shimmer and Creative Expressions. The extremely succesful “Jane Davenport’ ® Brand of Art Supplies was born and stocked in retail giants across the USA (Micheals, Hobby Lobby and Hobby Craft).
More recently, I have been creating more and more art supplies as exclusives for my website. Specialised mixed-media supplies that ‘Davenpeeps’ immediately get, and that add joy to the drawing & painting process. More than that, they are INFUSED with a magic call to create. Art creates joy, and to be part of that process for so many people is a wonderful privilege.
