Who paints Ultraviolet Backdrops?
Ultraviolet backdrops are painted, textured, shared, and shipped by the 2-person duo of Ashley Thalman and Matthew Peterson. We engage in creative experimentation and do not claim or seek for perfection. Matthew started painting on canvas in early 2019, made a big mess and just kept going. Matthew's work is inspired by nature, patinas, and the unexpected. His work offers "what's that" textures and cool meets warm color collisions. As of December 2026 he has completed just over 1000 backdrops.
What are hand painted backdrops made of?
Ultraviolet Backdrops are painted with both imported and domestic tools and products including, but not limited to; acrylics, oils, plant based minerals, plasters sprays, pigments, minerals, solvents, soils, foils, and other ad hoc mediums on 100% cotton canvas, muslin, nylon.

How thick are your backdrops?
Hand painted canvas backdrops are painted on 12 ounce 100% cotton canvas for maximum durability and opacity. We recommend canvas backdrops be stored mounted and rolled on a cardboard pipe to protect the painted surface and increase longevity.
Muslin backdrops are lightweight and medium opacity allowing direct light to pass through. Offering incredible texture, portability, and the same hand painted quality these foldable, travel friendly backdrops allow for draping and movement.
