CONSIDER THIS OUR MANIFESTO
We believe meaningful work is made slowly—with care, clarity, and respect
for the moment it represents.
Our approach is rooted in craft, collaboration, and restraint —
creating paper goods and commissioned pieces that feel personal and lasting.
Paper has weight.
Paint has presence.
Design creates balance.
We create fine art paper goods and hand-painted commissions for celebrations, homes, and meaningful milestones.
Our work centers on fine art printing, custom paper goods, and hand-painted commissions — approached with care, clarity, and restraint.
STYLE
Our style is modern-romantic: where
typography, paper, and
paint come together
with quiet confidence.
The result is work that feels elegant, personal, and enduring.
EXPERIENCE
From inquiry to final delivery, we offer a thoughtful, guided process rooted in clarity, craft, and care.
Each step is designed to feel steady and collaborative—allowing the work to unfold with ease.
CLIENTELE
We work with thoughtful clients who value craft, clarity, and quiet elegance.
The ones planning meaningful celebrations and considered events. Those who care about materials, details, and the way something is held, kept, and remembered — long after the day itself.
“Working with Seahorse Bend Press felt
thoughtful, steady, and deeply personal —
every detail considered from start to finish.”
From the paper choices to the artwork itself, the process was calm and collaborative. Jenn’s care for the work was evident in every step, and the final pieces felt both beautiful and lasting.

We start with a conversation to understand your vision, timeline, and priorities—whether a full suite or a single commissioned piece.
Typography, paper, color, and illustration are developed in harmony. Every decision
is made to support the
final piece, not overwhelm it.
We oversee production and finishing with care, ensuring the final work feels considered, cohesive, and worthy of keeping.
AND REALLY, ULTIMATELY, BECAUSE
Every commission begins with conversation and intention. From there, we guide you through design, refinement, production, and delivery — ensuring the final work feels cohesive and enduring.
We create announcement pieces, full invitation suites, and day-of paper — each developed as part of a cohesive design direction.
Our process varies by project — invitations, artwork, maps, crests, and paper goods all have different timelines and considerations.
Yes. We specialize in watercolor venue paintings, custom crests, and illustrated maps. Each is designed to complement your suite or stand alone as original artwork.
We offer return and guest addressing as well as full assembly and mailing. We also offer many items such as curated vintage postage, wax seals, ribbon, vellum wraps and bespoke envelope liners.
Select works are available for personal or commercial licensing. Inquiries are reviewed individually.
For commissioned artwork, yes — the original piece is mailed to you once completed.
If you’re also printing with us, we digitize the artwork and can provide a digital file for use within your project.
