Larry Eifert's art has been used on hundreds of interpretive panels, over 300 in the California Redwoods alone. The variety of styles, use of color and scientific accuracy make excellent use of art in the educational process.
We handle ALL facets of the panel process, including design, art, writing, scanning and computer design.
We broker our printing to some of the largest panel fabricators in the country, and use a high-quality fabricator for our custom-designed panel bases.
Scroll down and view a few of the hundreds of panels installed at many locations.
We price by individual project so please call 1-888-437-2218 for information, or EMAIL us today for a quote.
We are more than competitive with larger companies or NPS at Harper's Ferry.

Panel Material:
We currently use high-quality high-pressure laminate plastic for most of our panels. It's easy to clean, lasts a long time and is relatively inexpensive to produce. However, we also use fiberglas, stainless and Lexan.
Sizes:
Normal panels are 1/4" or 1/2" thick. We can produce panels up to 3/4" thick with contoured cutout shapes (to match mountaintops, for example) and up to 60" x 120".
Bases and Stands:
We can supply powder-coated, painted or plain aluminum bases in a variety of designs to fit your situation.
We use a fabricator here in Puget Sound that works on submarines and aircraft carriers and these panel bases seem (somehow) easier to him! We use aluminum because it doesn't rust, painted or not.
Muir Woods used elegant redwood trim for nine award-winning panels.

Art for Education and Interpretation
Larry Eifert's art is featured on exhibit panels created by many different agencies and companies. From the National Park Service, Harpers Ferry Center, to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, California State Parks, to exhibit companies like PPI, clients specifically ask for "the Eifert look." It has been used in a variety of formats, from high-pressure laminate to fiberglass embedment to high-end glass enamel on stainless.

Saleable Printed Products With Interpretive Panels
What sets Estuary Press apart from ANY OTHER PANEL COMPANY THAT WE KNOW OF?
You've invested in some beautiful panels, commissioned some wonderful art. Is that IT?
Many parks, refuges and preserves have moved past that idea to commissioning us to create printed products from the panel art.
Posters, puzzles or cards are just a few of the products that can help you pay for the original panels. Contact us for more information on this unique program.
Which parks have done this?
Bryce Canyon, Redwood, The Nature Conservancy, Muir Woods to name just a few! Ask us for a list.
Artist's Statement:
I place Wayside Exhibits right up there with Fine-Art Paintings. What could be better than to walk a forest path and stumble across a beautiful art installation, and one that actually teaches you something about your surroundings.
An art gallery in the woods!
