Kathryn Siegler has always been fascinated and obsessed with life from a bygone era. Her involvement with both photography and graphic design had an enormous influence on her art. Using subjects such as old neon signs and old packaging, along with the dimensionality of strong sunlight, she creates mood and depth, and defines the details which give the objects their unique identity.

Hanson Digital has created Betterlight captures, as well as reproduction-quality 4x5 transparencies and drum scans from Siegler's original art. The digital files were carefully color matched to the artwork, and exhibition prints were made from the digital files on archival rag paper.

Rebecca Botelho is a self-taught botanical artist working primarily in watercolor, focusing on native California plant species to raise awareness of their preservation. Drawing on her background as a scientist, she brings a careful, observational eye to her favorite subjects, flowers with intricate shapes or vivid color, often capturing the story of a plant's natural lifecycle. Rebecca's work is known for its remarkable photorealism and celebration of California's native flora.

Hanson Digital created high-resolution scans that captured the subtle watercolor detailing. The files were meticulously color-matched to the vibrant originals and printed on Cold Press Natural paper.

Perrin Lam is the founder and creative director behind Cat and Dog Modern. Before shifting to art full-time, he spent years as an advertising creative director, eventually co-leading the San Francisco office of one of the country's largest agencies, an experience that sharpened his instinct for messages that truly land. Today, that instinct shows up in geometric cat-and-dog artwork that skips the traditional, photo-realistic route in favor of something more personal: pieces built around behavior, mood, and the everyday moments pet owners know best. Perrin creates by drawing on his own life as a devoted pet parent to bring genuine warmth and care into contemporary design.

Hanson Digital has created prints for Perrin on Cold Press Natural paper that let his graphic style shine.

Originally from New York, Keith Hollander began creating artwork at a very young age. His first formal studies in art were at New York City’s School of Visual Arts where he further developed his relationship with surrealism. Before making his home in San Francisco in 1997, Keith traveled the mountainous regions of the United States seeking inspiration from the landscape and people around. His unique, surrealist style of painting has been exhibited at galleries and exhibits throughout the Bay Area. Keith received the city’s Public Mural Award for his large-scale mural, entitled “Joyous Discoveries,” that overlooked Market Street.

For this current series entitled "Inspiring Faces", Keith turned to Hanson Digital to create high resolution digital files of his large 6ft tall originals. Working closely with the artist to then make exacting reproductions, each image was output on to a hybrid photo rag baryta paper.

Michael Stehr is heavily influenced by his love for the history of art. His landscapes and architectural portraits show his appreciation for a wide range of artistic styles and periods. He is especially inspired by the French painter Camille Corot and early California artists such as Thomas Hill and Edgar Payne, although Stehr's style is still distinctively his own.

For exhibits of his work, Stehr wanted to show high-quality Giclée reproductions alongside of his original pieces to provide an alternative way to purchase his fine art. Hanson Digital photographed Stehr's artwork using a combination of Betterlight scans and archival transparencies, and made reproduction prints using a heavy textured fine art paper. Canvas prints were made as well, which Stehr then stretched and coated himself to give a close resemblance to his originals. The results were not only beautiful, but pushed the boundaries of what could be accomplished with fine art digital printing.
