It began on the back of a boat 25 years ago for Pam Hauser who was working as a service writer at a marina in the Midwest. She was intrigued by the hand-painted designs and lettering she saw sign painters creating on the transoms of various water craft.

“I thought what they were doing was so interesting and I wanted try it, so I practiced in my garage on a piece glass for a long time,” she said. “I’d scrape it off and do it again until I got really good at it.”

Hauser has excelled at sign designs and printing for over two decades, and has owned and operated businesses in several cities across the country, including her hometown of Chicago, a location in Wisconsin and in Hunter, New York, in the Catskills.

She recently opened Timberline Printing and Signs at 75 Weibel Ave. in Saratoga Springs. “I came here for four weekends in a row to check it out,” she said. “The city is beautiful, and everyone is super nice here.”

Timberline also offers custom website designing and consultation, hosting and domain names and tech support. In addition, the company offers wedding invitations, engraving for dog tags and horse halter plates.

“I am self taught and very good at what I do,” Hauser said. “I want to be an asset to the community.”
