Photographer uses photos on canvas to decorate restaurant

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Alison of No. 16 Photography has some unique and creative photography. When she contacted us about doing a large restaurant project we were excited to help and see what amazing shots would be included. Here are a few pictures of the finished results and a testimonial from her, we’d like to thank her very much for the kind words!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Canvas Press’s quality and service!

As a professional photographer, I do an extreme amount of research before committing to a product. Past reviews, incredibly helpful and pleasant customer service, and extraordinary offers and pricing convinced me at once that Canvas Press was the right choice for my photos.

My first order with Canvas Press included three custom sized black and white images. When I received them, I was incredibly happy to see that they were just as the way I had previewed them on the easy-to-use website. When I was contracted to do 33 photo canvases for a restaurant, I knew that Canvas Press could handle it and guarantee the quality I desired. ALL 33 canvases were perfect. Canvas Press’s safe shipping of all 33 canvases was and is unsurpassed.

There is no doubt that I will continue to use Canvas Press for all of my photo canvas needs. The quality of canvas and use of inks is superb. Each canvas that I have ordered is clear, sharp and rich in color. The stretching of the canvas itself on my gallery wrapped projects is just as superior.

I thank you for all your wonderful help and support. Your customer service reps are the best I’ve ever dealt with. The friendly staff is always so very helpful with any and all of my questions and/or concerns.

Thank you again for your wonderful business!

Alison, No. 16 Photography

A trip Down Under remembered on canvas…

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

 Canvas triptych on the mantel

We just received our order and they all look great!  We could not be more pleased with how well our photos turned out and the quick shipping.

We had shopped around here at home to try to find a good price to print photos onto canvas but no one came close to the price or quality you had to offer.  I even searched online and you guys had the best deals for what we were looking for.

Last Christmas our family took a vacation to Australia to visit my brother for Christmas and New Years.  During our trip we went on multiple sight seeing tours and did lots of exploring.  One day of exploration we went out and sampled wine at local wineries in the area and took some great photos.  Our family is big into family pictures.  So for Christmas this year my mom and I decided to get my dad some pictures of our previous trip.  Lately dad has been redecorating our dining room with “food-themed” photographs and was trying to decide what photo to enlarge.  We took the liberty of picking out one of his favorites and putting it on canvas, which we have wanted to try for a while.

We did one of us three boys at a winery Down Under and two of other photographs that I took at the wineries.

The three photos are together on the mantle in our dining room.  Dad is still deciding exactly how he wants to arrange them but I thought it does a good job of showing them off.

Thank you for the excellent work!  We are already picking out more photos to put to canvas!

Sincerely,

Dustin from Washington

LifeWorks Home Improvement Challenge

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Through the LifeWorks Home Improvement Challenge (HIC), corporate and community teams partner with a decorator to design the space of a LifeWorks client. LifeWorks clients live in Supportive Housing – a program offering subsidized housing to kids who need a “getting on your feet period.” LifeWorks clients are former foster care children, former homeless youth and teen parents who may have never before received the help they need for a fresh start.

November Design Group of Austin, Texas contacted us about working with them to create a special canvas artwork piece to be featured in the living room of the makeover apartment. The girl living there was not able to bring her cat there with her, so we made a beautiful sepia-toned 30×30 gallery wrap canvas of her cat so she would always be there with her.

Canvas as Healthcare Wall Décor Solutions

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

A Canvas Wall Decor Solution

After contacting Canvas Press, your Commercial Art Project Manager (CAPM) will help you plan your project as well as meet your budget and deadline.  There are several healthcare wall décor solutions available from Canvas Press.  Canvas Press’s main product, the gallery wrapped canvas, can be used in a variety of ways to ensure your healthcare environment is individualized and inviting. 

Employee Walls

Patients are often eager to return home while staying in a healthcare facility.  A wall of employee photos printed on canvas is a way to create a connection between patients and hospital staff.  Retiring employees as well as distinguished employees can be recognized with large specialty canvases.  These prints may include text with the employees name, position and years of service on the bottom.

Vision Statements

Displaying the healthcare facility’s mission statement on canvas in a very visible spot within the facility can serve as a reminder for employees of their greater purpose on a daily basis.  This makes your wall décor solution serve a dual purpose of art and relationship builder.

Logos

The hospital may want to display its logo in the main entrance. Healthcare funding donors may also be highlighted with canvas art.  Oftentimes, donors come from very different industries and individuals.  By using custom printed canvas art to display donors, it is ensured the logos will be formatted in a cohesive manner with similar sizing and texture.

Expansion Highlights

It can often take as long as a decade to complete healthcare renovations.  It is important to keep healthcare visitors and donors excited and informed about the transformation.  For under $200, a 30” by 40” canvas can be updated each quarter to keep everyone updated on the progress.

Inspirational Stories

Hospitals can often be places of stress.  Having cancer survivors’ stories and photos, for instance, lining the walls can serve to calm visitors.  This moves beyond art as a wall décor solution and into art as a reflective story of those who inhabit a space.

Calming Colors

Colors have meaning in all cultures.  White for purity, red for love, and yellow for happiness – all colors have understood cultural meanings.  Abstract patterns of a certain color can be hung on healthcare walls to create a desired mood.  Check out the Abstract section of the Canvas Press sister site www.ReallyBigCanvas.com.

Photography

Photographs are particularly nice wall décor solutions in healthcare facilities as they evoke an immediate human-to-human relation.  Smiling faces within a photo deepen this relationship even further.   

Signage

Canvas prints may also be used as signage to direct traffic flow within a healthcare facility as well as indicate reception locations, restroom entrances and waiting areas.

Art Interaction

Not all wall décor solutions have to be DO NOT TOUCH items.  Photos may be printed in the center of a large white canvas.  The white border areas may be signed with thin black Sharpie markers by patients and visitors.

Easy cleaning is a major benefit of using canvas as a healthcare wall décor solution.  Simply wiping the dust away with a gentle stroke completes the cleaning.    Additionally canvases are extremely safe because of their light weight and lack of glass.  Canvas Press products arrive with special hardware included to minimize the possibility of art falling if bumped by a patient.  Specialty safety hangers are available upon request.

If you would like to speak to a Commercial Art Project Manager about your healthcare wall décor solution, please call 512-828-5553.
