• 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.

Photo Consultation FAQ
  • How does the photo consultation work?

    Consultations last 30 minutes and are conducted via Google Meets. Simply use the calendar on the page to select an open slot and make your booking. You will recieve a meeting link by email.

    On the call, you can discuss every element of your project with Patrick, ask questions and get all the information you need to plan the next phase of the project. Patrick will usually be able to take you through costings, lead times and other practical issues around your project.

  • Is there any obligation to proceed with a project?

    None. Consultations are offered completely free of any obligation and serve only as a means of discussing ideas or fleshing out the viability of a project.

  • Do you have available slots in the evening?

    Yes. We have various slots available after normal working hours to accomodate day jobs!

  • Do I need to prepare anything in advance for a consultation?

    Not really but if you have a particular set of photos in mind that you want to use, it would be helpful to share those with Patrick in advance of the call. Please don't share any more photos than you intend printing though - it's better to be selective initially so the conversation can be relatively focused. Hard deadlines are also worth sharing in advance.
