Love is Art

Simply put, LOVE IS ART is a kit that comes with everything a couple needs to safely make a tangible piece of abstract expressionistic art while being intimate with each other. What is left is a one-of-a-kind abstract painting that represents that special moment, that can then be stretched, framed and hung on the wall -- a reminder of the love that was shared.  The kit also provides a unique bonding experience for the couples involved, as they work together as a team to craft their own unique masterpeice.
