It Started with a tiny box of cards!


8th of September 2026

It started without a plan:

I had a toddler and a baby. Thats a full time job in itself. I worked in a hospitality retail job a few days a week. It didn't always flow well with being a new mum. There was always challenges. At the end of the days, when dinner was done, kids where bathed and put to bed, I would usually crash on the couch and just scroll Instagram or watch TV. Until one night. . .

I was scrolling Instagram and an artist in the UK popped up. It was late January. She was announcing a February art challenge. I used to paint a lot but I hadn't picked up my paint brushes in years! So, I crawled into my cupboard and dusted off my paint brushes and an old set of paints I had.

I was off and running. The challenge was each day I had a colour and word to paint to. And each day I had to post it to Instagram and tag the artist. Half way through the month I was getting comments from so many people. Positive comments, encouraging comments! And then they started asking me if I would sell any of the art? I didn't know how to sell art. I didn't know where to start. So I asked Adam "What do I do?". And this is where the seed was planted. He simply answered, "well, put your art on some greeting cards."

And that's what I did. I found a company in town, called Monotone, I still use them to this day! And I printed a few of my February art onto cards. . . .

That is how Bosa Art Co was born! From a night of mindless scrolling, to an art challenge, to a box of cards.

What happened next changed my life! And I am eternally grateful!

23rd of July, 2026 Happy Birthday to Me! As my birthday rolls around each year, I find myself reflecting less on how old I'm getting and more on how far I've come. Eight years ago, I had a box of greeting cards sitting in my house. That was it. No website. No customers. No stockists. No business plan. No grand vision for what would become Bosa Art Co. Just a box of cards and a hope that maybe, somehow, someone would want to buy them. Looking back now, it's funny to think that I was holding a...

21st of June, 2026 Slow Living on Holidays Hello, A few weeks ago, my little family packed our bags and flew north to Queensland. I needed some vitamin D, we realised we'd never taken a proper family holiday with the kids, and after eight years of pouring my heart into growing Bosa Art Co., I realised I had never truly stopped and actually celebrate how far I'd come. So I decided it was time. Time to rest.Time to explore.Time to tick a few things off my bucket list. Before I knew it, we were...

4th of June, 2026 But first . . . Washi! When was the first time you saw a roll of washi tape? Do you know what it is? Did you know it is only about 20 years old! The Origins of Washi Tape: The name "washi" translates to "Japanese paper". Handcrafted paper-making techniques were introduced to Japan from China via a Korean Buddhist monk in 610 AD. Japanese artisans refined these methods, using long, durable fibers from local plants like the mulberry (kozo), bamboo, and gampi. This created...
