A small studio in Irvine, California.
We turn the photos people love into paintings they can hang: one photograph in, an oil-painting portrait on canvas out.
How a painting gets made. Software paints the first pass from your photo in seconds — that is the free preview you see in the studio. After you order, a person checks the full-resolution file against your photo for likeness and artefacts, fixes what the machine got wrong, and emails you a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
What it is printed on. Archival giclée on cotton canvas with pigment inks, stretched over 1.5-inch solid wood bars and wrapped around the edges, so it hangs without a frame.
What we won't do. Call it hand-painted — it isn't. Smooth, slim or retouch a face. Use your photo for anything but your painting: it is never used to train a model, never sold, and the original is deleted 30 days after delivery (photo policy).
If it isn't right. We repaint it at the proof stage, as many rounds as it takes. If the finished canvas doesn't match the proof you approved, or arrives damaged, we remake and reship it free (our guarantee).
