All in the Family

Your children have a way of inspiring you like nobody else. Who else would leave an abstract love poem smudged in chocolate syrup on the fridge, just for you? Genius!

Likewise, Juliet Gilden's parents (Jerry and Miriam) continue to be inspired by her art, and she by theirs. This trio of art institute-educated painters channels all of this collective inspiration into beautiful artwork for children everywhere to enjoy.

At their online gallery, called Young Collectors Art, you can find a piece that will not only encourage your own kid creatively but finally fill that empty span of wall above his bed. The museum-quality acrylic paintings, available on canvas or wooden boards, feature leggy giraffes and ballerinas, fierce jungle animals, familiar fairy tale characters, bubbly underwater scenes, and creepy-crawly reptiles.

Prices start at $200 – not bad for an original work – but you can score a print for just $35. All you have to do now is choose your subject.

And be sure to hang your new art safely above the chocolate-syrup zone.
