The first The Positive Edge prints were originally produced, starting in 1986, in order to give something personal and inspirational during holidays or other occasions, to make something out of the ordinary and of lasting value. The business was incorporated in 1999 for the purpose of producing high quality limited edition collectible prints that motivate, educate, and inspire. We create a minimum of one print each year!
Our prints are the result of creatively combining illustration and calligraphy with the potent words of some of the important figures in our history, often American history, highlighting historical and contemporary authors and outstanding accomplishments.
There are now 32 prints available in our shop. Let us share them with you!
