Stakarto — a small studio
Quiet, considered tools for artists and makers.
Stakarto is founded by Holly Kay Parsons — a practising sculptor in Australia — to build the admin tools that serious artists have been missing. Sharp where they need to be. Out of the way the rest of the time.
The studio
Built by an artist, not a tech company.
Stakarto is a micro‑studio. One practising artist, a handful of tools, and the stubborn belief that the software artists rely on should feel as considered as the work itself.
We build slowly, for a specific reader: the painter, sculptor, printmaker, jeweller, ceramicist — anyone who makes work and quietly dreads the admin around it. Every tool we ship tries to earn back an afternoon.
Our first tool, ArtyLog, is in its founding phase. Cohort 1 opens when it’s ready.
ArtyLog — the first tool
Your art deserves a proper record. Not a panicked afternoon before the deadline.
ArtyLog is the simplest way for artists and makers to catalogue their work and share professional collections with galleries and collectors — from the phone, in minutes.
- Snap a work from your phone in under a minute
- Track status: in progress, available, sold, on consignment
- Filter by medium, series, status in seconds
- Export a gallery‑ready PDF before the email cools
What’s next
More quiet tools, as they’re ready.
Stakarto’s roadmap follows the rhythm of real practice — content planning, submissions, commissions. We’ll share each tool when it earns its place.
