About Us

For the Love of Art

Look is driven by the love of art, and our dream is simple: to connect more people with the pieces they love. We strive to offer affordable prints from New Zealand’s most celebrated artists, to increase awareness and understanding of their work, and to educate and empower our customers to gain a deeper appreciation of the wonderful artists we have here in Aotearoa.

Look was started by Jan McPhedran, a Wanaka businesswoman and avid art collector who wanted to help spread her passion and the joy of art across the country. Realising how inaccessible art was to the everyday person, Jan was determined to provide a solution that would suit every style and budget. Drawing on her extensive connections in the art world, Jan was able to partner with Te Papa, the national museum of Aotearoa, to produce prints of the work of New Zealand’s most famous artists.

We believe in the shared beauty and connectivity of art, and in the role that great art plays in helping us understand who we are as people and as a nation. We believe in the free and open sharing of information so that we all may benefit from the increased knowledge this brings to our communities. We are committed to providing the highest quality prints at the lowest prices possible in order to help connect more people with the artists they love, so that everyone’s lives may be enriched by the beauty of art.
