Art Tells a Story.
These Stories Need to be Told.

In partnership with Steel Hearts, a 501(c)(3), Paintru has committed to paint every fallen service academy graduate killed in action during the last two decades of war.

Donate to the campaign to help us tell these heroes' stories.

What Our Customers Are Saying

To put it plainly, it meant the world to my mother.

"From where I sit, I believe my mother's biggest fear is her first born’s sacrifice being forgotten, and this gift is an example how there are good, sincere people out there who aren’t going to let that happen."

The portrait leaves us speechless.

"Paintru made the overall process so simple. They deliver easy step by step ordering, quick communication, and have caring people working for them resulting in fantastic paintings. I could not be more satisfied with product quality. I highly recommend to anyone looking to have personalized artwork."

Final Result Was Fantastic!

"From start to finish, the process was polished and easy to use. I received timely updates on the status of my painting, and the final result was fantastic! My wife loved it, and I can’t wait to put it up in our house. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!"

Every dollar donated will go to commissioning paintings of fallen service academy graduates.

Paintru will select artists, and handle all logistical requirements to produce these commemorative paintings.

The paintings will be gifted to the families of these fallen heroes, or to the heroes' schools, local museums, or federal buildings.
