Welcome to Nightingale Materials! A family business through and through. We specialize in offering top-quality art supplies, unique gifts, beautiful local art, and fun art classes.

More than just a store, we’re a place where creativity thrives, where artists of all levels can find inspiration, and where the spirit of community is at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on curating only the best art supplies—paints, brushes, sketchbooks, and more—all chosen to help bring your artistic visions to life. And, with our handpicked collection of unique gifts and locally made art, you’ll always find something special to take home or share with loved ones.

At Nightingale, we’re a gathering place for artists and art lovers to connect, learn, and grow together. We truly believe in the power of art to bring people together and build a sense of belonging, and we’re proud to contribute to the vibrant West Chester art scene by supporting talented artists in our community. Every piece of art tells a story, and we’re honored to share those stories with you.

Meet The Team

Moriah & Riad

We are the proud owners of Nightingale Materials. I, Moriah, am an artist myself. I always loved art supplies, and when we moved to West Chester, I hated how far we had to travel to shop for quality materials. Nightingale was born out of my own desire to provide the in-person shopping experience that is crucial to artists, and I've loved every minute of it. I run the day-to-day operations, and if you call us you'll probably hear my voice on the other line.

My husband, Riad, takes care of all of the behind-the-scenes things that are easily overlooked but essential. With a background in software engineering, he is the brains behind the website and his creativity is behind the beautiful photos on our website and many on social media.

Elie

Elie is my sister and the Studio Coordinator at Nightingale. She administers all of our classes, workshops, events, and rentals. Her ideas for events are always fun and unique, and she works closely with our artist teachers to provide a wonderful experience for those who attend.
