About Us

Our Story

Easelry is a brand created by RYAN RIKAL FT INC, founded in 2025 in Butler, Pennsylvania. It began with a simple observation from our founder: many people who love to draw and paint spend more time searching for a board, an easel or a set of supplies that suits them than they spend creating.

We wanted to change that. Easelry was started to bring drawing boards, easels and art supplies together in one place, with clear product information and straightforward service, so that more time can go to the artwork itself.

Who We Are

Our team is a small group of people who care about drawing and painting. Some of us sketch on weekends, some of us studied art, and some of us bring experience in online retail and customer service. What we share is a belief that creating something by hand is worth making room for in everyday life.

Why We Chose an Online Store

An online store lets us reach artists, students, hobbyists and teachers across the United States, and lets us talk with customers directly. We can answer questions, listen to feedback and keep improving how we describe and present every product.

The Challenges Along the Way

The early months were not easy. We spent a long time comparing products, learning what artists look for and rewriting product pages so that what you read matches what arrives at your door. There were moments when progress felt slow, and we had to rework our plans more than once.

What kept us going was the people we were building this for. Each message from a customer, each question about a board size or an easel type, reminded us why we started. We stayed with it, one step at a time, and Easelry grew from an idea into the store you see today.

What We Believe

Creating should be open to everyone, from first-time sketchers to experienced painters
Clear information helps you choose with confidence
Honest communication builds trust
Every artist works at their own pace, and the right tools should support that
