Material knowledge,
applied to real walls.

WhittledArt was founded by Matt Newman, whose background includes serving as president of UW Solutions, the company behind ChromaLuxe. That experience is most useful when it becomes operating discipline: choosing the right substrate, matching claims to the exact configuration, controlling color, and documenting a recipe that can be repeated later.

Why Mountain Home

The Ozarks has a natural fit for this work: regional landscape photography, hospitals and clinics, hotels and lodges, restaurants, tourism, vacation properties, corporate interiors, and creative firms that need a specialized production partner. A local studio can show the physical surface, discuss the wall, and respond to a project deadline without shipping every decision across the country.

How we work

• —Start with the wall, audience, cleaning plan, size, count, and deadline.
• —Choose MDF or aluminum based on the application—not a generic durability headline.
• —Preflight the image and approve a digital or physical proof before production.
• —Record the panel, finish, ink, press settings, hardware, and care information.
• —Coordinate local delivery and qualified installation when the project requires it.

What we will and will not claim

Dye sublimation transfers an image into a receptive ChromaLuxe coating rather than leaving a conventional ink layer on top. The useful performance language still depends on the exact panel, finish, ink, exposure, cleaner, and mounting.

We do not turn configuration-specific indoor test results into a universal lifetime promise, call every panel outdoor rated, or describe finished artwork as antimicrobial. Commercial buyers receive the material and care information that actually applies to their project.
