Gold Hand Signs is located in the heart of McMinnville Oregon at 820 SE 1st Street. We offer Hand Painted signs to brighten your day and bless the community with that something special. We can't do everything, but what we do, we do right. Gold Hand Signs is operated by Colt Bowden and often his friends and acquaintances who have delved into the delightful trade of sign painting.
I grew up in a small mining town called Magna, in Utah. When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was draw cartoons and make cool art. At the age of 10, I started to dabble in skateboarding. It grew into a pastime, then into a full fledged obsession and lifestyle. From that came the ability to press forward through failure and to create my own handmade world around me. Changing the boring everyday objects in my life into obstacles and challenges. Sign Painting offers the same type of creative outlet, where a boring wall or window can become an extravagant display of advertising in an artistic way. I have lived in Southern California, Montgomery County Maryland and all over Hawaii. I have called Mcminnville Oregon Home for the past 8 years (My wife was born and raised here) and have current plans to live out my days here and continue to raise my family here. My goal is to bring hand painted lettering, gold leaf and fine art to the enrich the community around me.
I have worked in everything I could imagine sign painting, from National Parks and Museums to Corporate headquarters for Google, Nike and Venmo to name a few. I am just as happy to work with the smallest mom and pop shop down the street as I am painting a 5 story tall mural for a major shoe manufacturer.
Let's make your dreams come true!
