The internationally recognized fine artist couple dedicated their diversified backgrounds in original artworks, toy design, printmaking, packaging, marketing, “Brand” management, licensing and art event creation in order to create specialty products that allow other artists the time and motivation to expand their own markets.

Rather than each artist having to manage and produce their own merchandising, CP acts as not only a collaborator and producer, but also
