Our Story
I didn't start PaintJoy Club to build a business. I started it because I needed a break.
Back in 2020, like many of us, I found myself overwhelmed. Between the news, the isolation, and missing my students, my mind was constantly racing. I tried meditation, but sitting still only made the anxiety louder. I needed something that kept my hands busy but let my mind rest.
That's when my daughter sent me a paint-by-numbers kit.
I hadn't painted in years, but the moment I matched the first color to the canvas, something clicked. The focus required to fill in those tiny spaces left no room for worry. Two hours passed, and for the first time in months, my shoulders dropped.

But the kit itself? It was frustrating. The paints were half-dried, the canvas arrived folded with deep creases, and the numbers were so small I needed a magnifying glass.
I thought: This should be relaxing, not a chore.
So, I started sourcing better canvases. I found paints that actually covered the numbers in one coat. I tested brushes that didn't fray after one use. When my friends started asking for the kits I was putting together, PaintJoy Club was born.
Today, I'm incredibly proud that over 50,000 people have found their own quiet moments through our kits. We're still a small team, but our mission hasn't changed: providing you with the perfect, frustration-free escape.
Grab a cup of tea, pick up a brush, and let's paint.
Warmly,
Martha
The PaintJoy Promise
We believe your creative time is sacred. That's why every kit we send out is backed by our four-pillar promise:
If I wouldn't paint it myself, we don't sell it.
We roll our canvases in protective tubes—never folded.
Non-toxic acrylics that actually cover the numbers.
If your kit isn't everything you hoped for, we'll make it right.
