Who we are

Hi, we’re Artopia!
We are a California-based design studio creating bold custom framing with wood, our signature resin, and a curated mix of prints and photographs. Founded by artist Joann Barse Ruane and designer Johnny Colella, Artopia continues to grow through the creative direction of Joann and her daughter, Melanie Ruane.

With the mission of bringing more art into the world. You’ll find us at events in Palm Springs, Los Angeles County, and Ventura County — or you can reach out directly to start the design process for your own walls.

We love collaborating with anyone seeking artwork. Contact Joann or Melanie, we are always happy to help you design the perfect art piece for your home.
