About Jack Richeson
Jack Richeson & Co. has manufactured artist oil paints at its Kimberly, Wisconsin factory since acquiring the Shiva color line, producing professional-grade paints from pure dry pigments under laboratory-controlled conditions that serious artists depend on.
Heritage & History
Jack Richeson founded his art supply company in the Third Ward of Appleton, Wisconsin in a Victorian home that would eventually anchor an international art materials business. The company relocated to Kimberly, Wisconsin, where it operates today as a family-owned manufacturer and distributor of professional fine art materials.
The defining moment in Richeson's manufacturing history came when the company acquired the Shiva oil paint line, a historic American brand that had been producing artist-grade oil colors since the early twentieth century. Rather than outsourcing Shiva production, Richeson chose to manufacture the paints at their Wisconsin factory — a commitment to domestic production that preserved one of the few American-made oil paint lines. The Kimberly factory produces Richeson Oils using pure, artist-grade dry pigments formulated under laboratory controls, ensuring permanence, consistency, and freedom from darkening, yellowing, and fading.
Made in Kimberly, Wisconsin
Richeson manufactures its artist oil paints at the Kimberly, Wisconsin factory using a formulation process that begins with laboratory-grade dry pigments and produces finished paints that meet the standards of professional painters. Each tube is filled, sealed, and hand-labeled in Wisconsin — a detail that reflects the artisanal nature of professional paint production at this scale.
The Wisconsin manufacturing base supports a product line that extends beyond oil paints to include easels, panels, brushes, and a comprehensive range of art supplies. While some products in the Richeson catalog are sourced internationally, the core oil paint line that defines the brand's manufacturing identity is produced domestically. For American artists who want paints with a verifiable American manufacturing provenance and the laboratory quality controls that professional work demands, Richeson's Wisconsin-made oils provide that assurance.
