Who is this portrait for?

Both collections share the same workshop, the same care and the same proof to approve before printing.

With UV relief printing, the fur, the eyes and the light gain real volume. A texture you can feel under your fingertips — impossible with an ordinary photo.
Not a sad object — a gentle presence, to keep close.
- Real relief — Layers of ink build up to 1.5 mm of material.
- Vivid, lasting colours — Light-resistant UV inks that endure for years.
- Aluminum, canvas or acrylic — Three premium surfaces, portrait or landscape.
Our workshop

- 3Finished by handEach piece is checked, mounted and packed by hand in our Canadian workshop, ready to last a lifetime.
before / after
Your photo, whatever it looks like
The first: an old scanned photo, blurry and faded — often the only one left. “Enhance” mode gives it back its sharpness without changing your companion: same eyes, same markings, same pose. The second: an ordinary snapshot, turned into a painted piece. You decide how far to go.
Drag the slider to compare
A real example, produced by the Studio. On a badly degraded photo the AI reconstructs the missing detail: we clean it and give it back its sharpness, we do not recover the original photograph. That is why you approve the proof before anything is printed.
You approve the proof before printing — always.

Why “Pumpkin & Nova”
Two names, two doors.
In loving memory
Pumpkin
Our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, gone in the winter of 2026. Every tribute we make, we make thinking of him: gently, never rushed.
Very much alive
Nova
Taken in by an animal rescue in northern Québec, she arrived a mother of nine puppies. She is the joy behind the Companions collection.

We know how much every detail matters. Here's our commitment, on every order.

A digital preview is sent to you. You approve before any printing — always.
Likeness guaranteed

A human touch
Every creation passes through our hands before printing. AI suggests; we oversee every piece.
Frequently asked
What people often ask us
My only photo is old and damaged. Is it hopeless?
No — and that is often where the most moving results come from. Our “Enhance” mode clears the grain, recovers the sharpness of the eyes and fur, and rescues the light. On a badly degraded photo the AI reconstructs some of the missing detail: you will see the proof before anything is printed, and if the likeness isn’t there, we start again or refund you.
How long until I receive my artwork?
About two weeks: around 2 business days to prepare your proof, then handcrafted printing and careful delivery anywhere in Canada.
What if my photo isn't perfect?
Don't worry. A phone photo is usually plenty. We refine the framing, light and details — and if one truly won't work, we'll gently let you know.
Can I see the result before printing?
Always. You receive a digital proof to approve, with as many revisions as it takes to get it right. Nothing is printed without your go-ahead.
What do you print on?
Aluminum, artist canvas or acrylic plaque — each with optional tactile relief up to 1.5 mm. You choose, depending on the spot and the feeling.
a word from us
We're not a factory. Every piece passes through our hands, in our Québec studio, with the care we'd have wanted for Pumpkin. If a detail matters to you, it matters to us — write to us, we always reply.
