Creating Artwork That's Uniquely Yours

Creating Artwork That's Uniquely Yours

While many people visit Colbert Custom Framing & Art Printing with artwork already in hand, others come to us looking for the perfect piece to complete a room. That's where one of our favorite creative processes begins.

Start with Inspiration

We've recently added the first 100 images from our extensive image catalog to our website, making it easier than ever to browse and purchase digital artwork. This is just the beginning. Hundreds more images are available to explore in our Studio, where our design consultants can browse the catalog with you and recommend artwork based on your style, your space, and the atmosphere you want to create.

Whether you're drawn to landscapes, botanicals, architecture, abstracts, wildlife, vintage illustrations, or something completely unexpected, we'll guide you toward artwork that feels like it belongs in your home or office.

Our image catalog is only part of what's available. Because we can print images that are in the public domain, we're also able to search high-resolution collections for famous works of art, vintage illustrations, historical maps, botanical prints, and countless other images that have been made available for public use. It opens the door to an incredible variety of artwork that can be professionally printed, custom sized, and beautifully framed.

Make It Your Own

Finding the right image is only the beginning.

If you already have an image you love, you can easily upload it through our website and order a loose print in the size and paper of your choice. It's a convenient option for straightforward printing projects using your own photography or artwork.

For projects that call for something more customized, we invite you to visit the Studio. That's where the creative possibilities really open up.

Our design consultants can browse our image catalog with you, discuss your space and personal style, and recommend images that complement your home or office. From there, we can make thoughtful adjustments before printing—changing colors, refining the composition, applying artistic effects, combining design elements, or making other creative enhancements to create something uniquely yours.

Whether we begin with one of our catalog images or one of your own photographs, we'll guide the creative process to create artwork that's perfectly suited to your home and personal style.

A favorite vacation photograph, a meaningful family location, or an image you've captured yourself can become a one-of-a-kind work of art. We can enhance it, adjust it, print it, and custom frame it to create something that not only tells your story but also beautifully complements your home and personal style.

When artwork reflects both your experiences and your taste, it becomes more than decor—it becomes part of your home.

Printed to Last

Every print is produced in our Studio using professional giclée printing with archival pigment inks. This process delivers exceptional color, remarkable detail, and outstanding fade resistance, creating artwork designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

We offer a variety of premium print surfaces to suit both the artwork and the way you'd like to display it, including:

  • Smooth Matte

  • Velvet (100% Cotton Rag)

  • Photo Luster

  • Photo Metallic

  • Canvas

  • Metallic Canvas

  • Repositionable Fabric Sticker

Looking for wall art? We can print on canvas, professionally stretch it, and complete the piece with custom framing—creating a finished work of art that's ready to hang.

Respecting Artists and Copyright

One question we're frequently asked is whether we can print images found online.

The answer depends on copyright.

We only print artwork that our clients own, artwork we are licensed to reproduce, or images that are in the public domain. Respecting artists' rights and intellectual property is an important part of what we do.

If you're unsure whether an image can be printed, we'd be happy to discuss it with you. We also invite you to read our previous blog post from March 7, 2026, Confidently Buying Digital Artwork Online: What to Look For, to learn more about purchasing digital artwork legally and what to look for before printing.

Something No One Else Has

One of the greatest advantages of creating custom artwork is that the finished piece is uniquely yours.

Instead of choosing mass-produced wall décor, you have the opportunity to create artwork that reflects your memories, your experiences, your style, and your home. Whether it begins with one of our catalog images, a famous work in the public domain, or your own photography, every piece can be customized and professionally produced right here in our Studio.

Combined with our custom framing solutions, the result is something you won't find in a big-box store or hanging in someone else's home. It's artwork created specifically for you, your space, and your personal taste.

Because when a piece of art tells your story and fits your home beautifully, it's more than decoration—it's something you'll enjoy every day.
