Who Are We?
Michael K. Supports
Every painting that has stood the test of time
was stretched on a support made by an individual carpenter. If you open any art history book, attend any lecture, or visit a gallery featuring the work of a professional you can be assured of one thing: the work you see is painted on supports made by hand.
Everything we make is hand-crafted, from heavy duty stretcher bars, to traditional wood cradled panels, to custom-designed painting supports, and more. We believe in the tradition and relationship of an artist to his/her carpenter and we strive to re-instate and continue that tradition in our contemporary art world.

If you're like most painters, you're used to painting on machine-made stretcher bars that often warp, bow, snap, or otherwise cheapen the value and quality of your painting.
While machine-made painting supports are often cost-effective, they can ruin a great painting in the short and long-term.
Our goal is to make those kinds of painting supports a thing of the past.
