Denver Art Shipping and Prints with Maryam Miller

Maryam Miller is a contemporary painter based in Denver, Colorado. Like most Coloradans, Maryam loves spending time in the beautiful rocky mountains. Her landscape paintings are characterized by a calming natural color palette inspired by her adventures outdoors. As she began to market her practice and sell her work, she realized there were a few things she needed help with, Shipist and Printist were there to offer her the expertise to advance her business!

Art Philosophy

Denver artist Maryam Miller with her piece Above The Clouds.

Maryam’s work dances the line between impressionism and abstraction. Her thick brush strokes and distinctive color choices create a recognizable landscape that breathes serenity. Maryam has always indulged in her creative side, and has just recently started up her business of selling originals and making prints. Maryam would much rather spend time floating in one of Monet’s water lilies than shipping!

Difficulties with Art Shipping and Printing

Maryam ships her paintings at our self service pack stations.

Being an artist takes a lot more work than just paint on a canvas, which is a huge ordeal in itself by the way. There are a few logistics that most artists find difficult, and quite frankly just boring to dedicate time to. For Maryam a pain point was building a website, and all the printing and shipping that comes with it.

At Shipist, we offer advice on how to set up shipping on your website and offer a way more pleasant shipping experience than you’ll find anywhere else. Our pack stations are stocked with everything you can imagine necessary for quick and efficient shipping. At Printist, located right next to our pack stations, we offer high quality fine art prints and can take care of all the photographing, scanning, and printing so that you can spend more time outdoors or painting, like Maryam.

Art Shipping Logistics

Shipping can be super difficult, especially when dealing with large or heavy paintings. We’ve all seen how prices can add up, and it’s pretty hard to make that estimation of what to charge customers before checking out. If you’re not into hoarding large cardboard boxes around the house, taking multiple trips to the post office with all your pieces, or spending insane amounts of money with hidden shipping fees, like Maryam, Shipist has got your back. “Shipist has made everything so easy,” says Maryam. “I just drive here and drop stuff off and Shipist is here to help out with everything.”

Fedex and UPS only have a few stock boxes that, if you’re lucky, might fit a painting. But usually, you’ll end up with something a little too big, meaning your painting is more likely to get bounced around in the box and busted up on it’s journey. You might even get hit with a $100+ oversize fee! Shipist, on the other hand, has got everything you can possibly need to make your experience seamless. We’ve got every size box, offer discounted shipping prices, and are here to help you every step of the way! If you’re in a hurry, simply drop off your piece and we will pack and ship it out for you.

Archival Art Prints in Colorado

When Maryam sold her last few original paintings, she dropped them off for us to photograph before sending them out. She can now offer prints to continue making a profit after selling the pieces! She came by to check out some color tests to be sure that her prints are a near perfect replica of the original. Color matching sessions are free and super fun! Setting up prints on a website can be a bit tricky, so Printist offers an alternative or a supplemental professional website where Maryam can list her prints, and expand her customer base. Our completely hands off experience makes it easy for the artist to keep doing their thing. Once a piece sells, we print it and ship it out within a few days. We even update Maryam’s store automatically with tracking info. It doesn’t get easier than that!

We are beyond excited to be listing Maryam’s prints on our website, and are happy to help her out with shipping when she sells an original. For more information on her available pieces, check out printist.io for a range of sizes.
