Behind the brand.
Moon River Print Co. is a paper goods brand featuring the original art of Sydni Uher.
All prints are originally hand painted (or sometimes digitally designed, depending on the mood) by me—Sydni—and printed and shipped in the USA by FinerWorks.
In 2015, I launched MRPC with self-taught painting and lettering skills and a FaceBook page. Over the next five years, I slowly grew my sales and skills while building incredible relationships with local printers, small businesses, and repeat customers. In 2020, after five fun and exhausting years, I decided to retire my paintbrushes and stop selling my art.
Since then, I started working for my local church and married my best friend, Aaron. (He’s the one that convinced me to reopen MRPC!) We live in Southern California with our dog Linus. I’m surrounded and inspired by beachside sunsets, desert wild life, and the love of a good man, smelly dog, and merciful Savior.
