Your Little Explorer Deserves a One-of-a-Kind Welcome to the World

Handpainted adventure and journey landscapes with their name woven in. Made from real vintage maps, created to last a lifetime on their wall.

Baby shower gifts get forgotten.

Hand-painted, one-of-a-kind, no two pieces are exactly alike

Every Kids Compass Canvas piece starts as a hand-painted original: bold, colorful adventure-inspired landscapes painted one at a time in Bozeman, Montana.

Then the magic happens: the words are cut from real vintage maps, mod-podged onto the canvas, and sealed. The child’s name is added by hand.

No two pieces are identical. No prints. No mass production. Just one painting, made for one child.

Made for kids, loved by grown-ups too.
Order one for yourself or as a gift for any explorer, big or small.

Talk to James, the artist!


Hi, I'm James Healy - artist, dad, and former mountain guide. These days instead of leading trips through the backcountry, I'm in my studio turning real vintage maps into one-of-a-kind nursery art.

As a parent myself, I know how much these first keepsakes matter - which is why I paint and personalize every single piece by hand in Bozeman, Montana.

Got questions? Reach out anytime - I answer every message personally.

Happy Trails!
James
