OUR STORY
Hi there! My name is Ruth and I'm a rug and textile designer. During the pandemic I found myself at a loss when our weaving mills in India and Nepal closed and my business came to a grinding halt leaving me with a lot of time on my hands.
To stay creative and with the intention of giving back, I started painting and handcrafting little heart keepsakes called "Hearts of Hope" which I gifted to frontline workers and those who were struggling and just needed some kindness and acknowledgement.
People loved the idea of spreading kindness and hope within their own communities and wanted to purchase the hearts to gift themselves. Seeing the positive impact these little heart keepsakes - created in my own signature abstract artistic style - had on others as well as the incredible opportunity I had to spread kindness, I decided to run with this initiative and Art of Hope was born.
Now, by selling my Hearts of Hope, together with my wonderful and incredibly generous community, I have been able to spread hope and kindness to many communities both in Australia and abroad. I am extremely proud and humbled to have been able to donate and mail out over 30,000 Hearts of Hope over the past four years to many people who really needed a small but meaningful gesture of kindness.
OUR MISSION
It is my wish that everyone should know and experience the power of kindness - no matter how small the gesture.
Art of Hope is a reminder that you too can make someone’s day just a little bit brighter and more beautiful - even the smallest gesture of kindness and acknowledgement really does have the power to make a huge impact. If small ripples of kindness keep spreading outwards with no logical end surely then it will keep spreading?
If my little artworks can bring a smile, some joy, hope, acknowledgement or comfort to someone each day then I have succeeded in my mission to spread kindness one beautiful handmade Heart of Hope at a time. We have been able to gift and donate over 30,000 Hearts of Hope to charities, fundraisers, organisations, vets and animal rescue services, healthcare heroes, paramedics, community service heroes, victims of domestic violence, hospitals, volunteers, teachers and so many others who go above and beyond in the community or just need some kindness and hope because they are struggling.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and understand what Art of Hope is all about. I hope, like so many other wonderful people, you too will embrace Art of Hope and all it stands for, purchase some Hearts of Hope and choose to spread kindness, love and hope as far and wide as you can. Giving truly is the best feeling in the world and everyone needs a Heart of Hope to keep as a reminder of just how special they are!
If you are not able to purchase a Heart of Hope and you feel you need one or you know someone who needs one please reach out and we will pop one in the mail for you. At the moment we are only able to do this in Australia.
