Founded in 1988 by artist and paint-maker Richard Frumess, R&F Handmade Paints manufactures two unique and heavily pigmented paint lines: our classic wax-based encaustic paint and linseed-oil based Pigment Sticks®. Located in Kingston, New York, R&F is committed to producing the highest quality paints with materials meticulously sourced from around the world. 

Darin Seim and Sean Sullivan are the current owners of R&F. Both started in paintmaking many years ago (Darin in the 90s and Sean in 2007).
