Wee Gallery was conceived by Surya, a graphic designer, and Dave, a teacher.
When our son was born we read everything. We read about how to interpret babies' cries and change their diapers. We discovered that babies develop in so many ways during the first 5 years that it dwarfs everything they learn over the entire rest of their lives. That seemed pretty incredible considering how much we learned as parents during his first six weeks of life. We learned that newborns can only see 12 to 15 inches away and they are most taken with their parent's faces and black and white geometric figures. Experimenting with the latter idea, Wee Gallery was born.
So why couldn't we just get
away with drawing black lines
with a marker on a piece of
paper? Well, as Siddu got
older the lines became very
boring. The animals, on the
other hand, continued to
entertain. As his motor-skills
developed he would grab the
cards and look at them. When
we told him stories for each
animal he would listen and
look, turn the card and turn
it again. As he approached one
he would carry them around
and give them to us, asking
for a story. He could even
point out each animal as we
named them.
Siddu is now 13 and he has a
sister, Anya, who is 11. Wee
Gallery is a decidedly family
affair. We work together to
figure out new sets of art
cards, choosing animals and
their design. Surya and Siddu
paint lots of versions and we
all choose the best ones.
When it's time for a trade
show we often go together.
Wee Gallery has been great for our family and we hope it enriches your family's life too.
