• I couldn’t be happier with the stunning fine art framed print I received from Canvasworks! The colors were rich and true to my original image, and the quality of the frame was absolutely flawless - elegant, sturdy, and beautifully finished.Exceptional craftsmanship and fantastic service - I’ll definitely be ordering again!

The Canvas Works Was Founded in 2007 by Patrick Ryan

I’m often asked how and why I set up The Canvas Works. After graduating with Honors from Trinity School of Law, I went into the advertising industry but by 2006 I’d had enough of the rat race and moved to the Ibizian countryside with my now wife, Lynne. We developed the business out there and moved back to Ireland in late 2007 where we settled in Kinsale, County Cork.

We're proud to be going stronger than ever in 2025.

Although we’re small, we invest heavily in our website to deliver an on-line experience that matches or surpasses the big international players. Supporting an Irish online canvas printing business should never mean settling for less. I believe our canvas prints and framed prints match or surpass our international competitors but we also offfer a level of personal service they simply cannot provide.

About Us FAQ
  • What are your print sizes for canvas prints and framed prints?

    All of our sizes for the travel posters relate to the image area rather than the total size. This means that for framed prints or print only on either satin lustre or fine art paper, the total paper size will be bigger to allow for the border or mat.

    Canvas prints are different because there is no border or mat surrounding the image so the sizes there equate to the full size of the canvas.

    Image Size, Paper Size and Wall Size
    A 15x20cm image size comes printed on a 20x25cm print and has a total wall size of 24x29cm. (In imperial sizes, this equates to a typical 8x10" frame)

    A 20x30cm imagee sizes comes printed as a 30x40cm print and has a total wall size of 34x44cm. (In imerial sizes, this equates to a 12x16" frame)

    A 30x45cm image comes printed as a 40x55cm print and has a total wall size of 44x59cm. (In imperial sizes, this equates to a 16x24" frame)

    A 40x60cm image size comes printed as a 50x70cm print and has a total wall size of 54x70cm. (In imerrial sizes, this equates to a 20x28" frame)
