Our Affordable Prints and Sustainable Mission

Palomarin is the fruition of two longtime friends: Sam, the business mind from the San Francisco Bay Area, and Ralph the artist from the island of Guam. Sam and Ralph first met in school, lived together for years, and decided to take their bond into a venture based in mutual passions: art and conservation.

 

Sam spent his childhood roaming the forests, coasts, and mountains of Northern California. Ralph spent his childhood exploring the same landscapes in the tropical environment of Guam.  The realities of climate change are all too familiar to them and their homes, making the mission of operating the business sustainably that much more important.

 

Why?

We found a disconnect in the world of art prints. Websites were selling prints from artists they didn't know and sending a digital file off to have someone else across the country do the printing. There was no connection to the art itself. It seemed backwards. We decided to build a community of local artists that we know and print everything ourselves. It just feels that much more meaningful to us. And that's what Art's all about, right?

Prints

Standards

Builders and makers ourselves, we have worked with our hands our entire lives. From wood and metal to leather and canvas to Ti leaves and paper, one truth has always resonated with us: Quality Matters. Our paper, ink, and printing process reflect this resonating truth across the board. Palomarin’s prints are made to last longer than the wall they hang on, and even the person enjoying their company. Each print comes out of our printer, is set in a frame, and carefully packaged by our hands, not an unknown third party so that we can ensure unparalleled quality control.

How it works

Each piece of art is printed to order, packaged in recycled mailers, and shipped straight to you. We offer Palomarin original pieces as well as collections featuring paintings and photographs from our Artist Community. An order from one of these Artists supports an artist and our planet!

Where

We operate out of little town nestled into a hillside on the San Francisco Bay; our environmental impact has a direct effect on both of our homes and our high environmental standards are of the utmost importance to us.  We print on recycled paper in a solar-powered facility and ship in recycled mailers. But that's not all. Check out our Sustainability Page to read more.

Green on our minds

In our mission to offer the most sustainable and zero-impact art print possible, Palomarin plants a tree for every order placed on the website. We do this in partnership with the 501(c)3, One Tree Planted. One Tree Planted plants trees in over 40 different countries in the name of restoring forests, creating habitat for biodiversity, and making a social impact around the world.
