Fine art barn photographs available as magnets, coasters, trivets, and framed art.

Catskill Meanderings

Many of my barn images are part of my Catskill Meanderings series.

I know I am not alone in feeling increasingly disconnected from the natural world. One of the ways I attempt to strike a balance is to begin each day with a long walk or hike in the picturesque surroundings of my Catskill Mountain/Hudson Valley home in upstate New York. 

For nearly two decades I’ve recorded my experience of place within the context of these walks with either my iPhone or DSLR camera.

Most of the images only make it as far as our Instagram feed, but I preserve a select few as fine art photographs.

How We Make Our Magnets, Coasters, Trivets, and Framed Pieces

We produce our work on hardboard and ceramic tile with a dye sublimation imprinting process—which creates a vivid, permanent, waterproof image.

Magnets are 2×2-inch hardboard tile.
Framed Catskill Mountain View Photo Tile
Our handcrafted frames are made with salvaged and reclaimed wood.

You can also use our ceramic tiles as wall tiles in shower and backsplash applications.

We do all our own printing, working in small batches, typically for specific shows or orders. Contact us with questions or if you would like to place an order.

Note: In most instances our photo tiles are resilient, but they are vulnerable to scratches from sharp objects and fading from direct sunlight. Use unsanded grout for traditional interior applications and avoid permanent outdoor installations.
