Yvette St. Amant & Dee Kruger
YSA Paint began with a friendship between two artists who understand both the beauty and the challenges of building a life around creativity.
Yvette St. Amant
Yvette St. Amant is an internationally recognized artist and educator who has inspired thousands of students to paint through her teaching. For years, she dreamed of creating her own paint line - one that reflected the way she loves to paint: vibrant, versatile, and joyful to use.
But what truly makes their partnership special is the friendship behind it. Through the ups and downs of running their own art businesses, Yvette and Dee supported one another, encouraged each other, and understood first hand how challenging it can be to make a living in the art world. That shared experience shaped the heart of YSA Paint. Because they know something many creatives experience: we begin creating… life gets busy… and sometimes we drift away from it.
Dee Kruger
Together, they combined their strengths and became the co-founders of YSA Paint.
Yvette and Dee believe the true magic of art is falling in love with the creative process. Through YSA Paint, they hope to inspire artists to fall in love with painting again - and for those rediscovering their creativity after time away, to experience the feeling of coming home to their art… and as a result to themselves.
Together, they are building more than a paint brand.
They are building a creative home where artists feel supported, inspired, and excited to create again.
