About US

My name is John Schaefer and I founded Recognition Concepts back in 1986. Our focus has been primarily on corporate recognition programs (see Business), and we have been fortunate to have worked on over 100 projects, many with Fortune 500 companies.

Because of the breadth of talent and experience represented by our fine artists, the Family program seemed like a natural extension of our montage composition and production skills. If a historical montage works so well for corporate commemoratives and recognition programs, imagine how it could work for successful families to highlight and share the many aspects of their lives!

The Paint My Wedding website (see Weddings) is designed specifically to help families celebrate their wedding memories in fine art.

I have included brief biographies to introduce you to our special group of professional artists, along with a personal gallery that allows each of them to feature their work.

Our home page, www.PaintMyStory.com, provides an overview of our parent company and features links to our other award, recognition, and commemorative programs.

Visit all of our links to see how our personalized custom montage programs work for companies, families and weddings, and don't forget to sign in to be entered in our drawing for a FREE PORTRAIT and to receive information on new PaintMyStory programs!
