Custom Canvas Painting.

…and we have an artist in residence.

For those special projects that will bring your own vision to life, we offer custom canvas painting. Our artist, Christie Root, can add initials to existing canvases or stockings, or design anything you can imagine. If you bring in your project, she can take a look and give you an estimate on what it will cost usually based on how long it will take her to paint your canvas. We have gathered some of her projects so you can see how talented she is. But this, too, takes time, so it’s best to plan ahead. We’ve highlighted some of Christie’s specialties below.
