Since 1992
From a basement bench to our Poland shop
Three decades of hand lettering, signs and printing for the Tri-County Area — here’s where it started, and where we are today.
The story behind the shop
A dream, a paintbrush, and a basement.
“A business that began with a dream, a paintbrush, and a basement, and grew into a lasting legacy.”
Denise Christenson is a lifelong creative from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, trained at an art school in Pittsburgh. In 1992 she launched DC Graphics as a calligrapher and hand-painter, working from her basement while raising three small children.
Her faith carried her through, and in 2001 she opened her first storefront. Over 34 years the shop has expanded and relocated, and today it works from a creative space in Poland, Ohio, with many repeat customers, including churches.
