History and Inspiration

BOXWOOD, Your Art, Your Story, Your Adventure. Let your art tell your story wherever you go.

Boxwood was founded in March of 2018 by Aaron Holley. It is a result of his desire to bring together his 12 years professional experience of working as a senior concept artist and illustrator in the video-games industry and 20 years passion for snowboarding to create beautiful hand crafted artwork for you to collect in your home, vinyl wraps for board sports, and vinyl wraps for your tech devices. Providing you with the highest quality materials in anything we provide you with whether it's our any of our Bark merch, clothes, blankets, towels, or pillows, and especially our art prints. All the art for Boxwood is made by Aaron Holley.
 
In addition, to the Fine Art Prints there is BOARD, TECH, AND WALL BARK. All Bark products are professional grade vinyl and laminated vinyl prints. Board sports can be really expensive. It’s an investment you make for a fun / enjoyable ride for many years not to mention some of the gear and accessories. Many people protect their cell phones with screen covers and car paint with automotive vinyl. With board BARK you can protect your investment, plus have the opportunity to change the graphics on it, be able to give it a fresh look and save yourself the time and money of having to look for and buy a new board. For more info on our BARK products visit our TECH page.

 

All artwork, vinyl printing, and fine art prints are done in house to ensure you're receiving a quality product that meets the highest standards. We have a strong commitment to our environment and our local economy. When you buy from Boxwood Board Designs you’re supporting not only our small business but other small businesses, Thank you and please wrap responsibly.

Our new Apparel, Accessories, and Home and Living categories are offerings that are handled through a third party. They make everything they do in-house on their end, ensuring a quality product for you.

 "I get asked a lot which piece of art from Boxwood is my favorite.
That's a tough question b/c they're all my children. :) I don't release a painting until I'm happy with the finished piece.
I enjoy each painting for different reasons. As well as the whole process of each painting from start the creative problem solving to finished painting." - Aaron
