Why Artist and Collectors Choose Sierra Art Panels
My panels are not mass-produced—they are handcrafted for a small group of artists who value quality, durability, and a quality painting surface. While most of my panels are made to order, I also offer a select number of in-stock panels that vary based on what I'm currently creating. These panels are available in limited quantities, so if you see something you like, don’t wait!

Sierra Art Panels are thoughtfully designed to deliver a superior artistic experience, combining exceptional quality with lasting durability. The panels are created by artist Tom Applegate, who brings years of expertise in crafting and working with wood art panels, sometimes incorporating modern composite materials such as carbon fiber and fiberglass. Tailored for professional and emerging artists, they offer a high-end surface for creating works that impress both creators and their collectors. Engineered to be as slim and lightweight as possible while maintaining superior strength and warp resistance and the aesthetics of wood, these panels are the perfect blend of form and function.
​
For the artist, Sierra Art Panels offers a new alternative to traditional cradled panels, stretched canvas, warped boards and foam core. Artists enjoy increased framing options, and slim profiles for easier storage, transport, and shipping. With a thickness of 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches, they occupy less studio space and can be stored in a smaller area. The panels' strength protects them from damage during shipping, which also allows a thinner package and reduced mailing costs.
​
For the collector, Sierra Art Panels are a premium substrate for artists who work with high quality materials creating archival quality, By choosing artwork created on Sierra Art Panels, art collectors can have confidence that their investment in the artwork will appreciate over time, whether they plan to sell it in the near future or pass it down through generations.
Our Panels are made one at a time with a commitment to quality and personal touch in the creation process. This appeals to collectors who are not only interested in the aesthetic value of the artwork, but also in the longevity of their investment.
