Enhancing Your Art

Art and Frame Enhancements


What are the elements that go into a beautiful, effective and unique frame design?  

There are litterally thousands of matting and framing options to explore:   do we add a fillet to the mat, or to the frame.  Do we use fabrics, such as linen, silk, suede or a multitude of other choices.  What is the mood we want to capture:  modern, contemporary, tradtional, victorian, or eclectic.  A romantic piece such as a wedding or engagement photo may suggest silks, golds and silvers with a fillet inside the mat.  A funny, funky piece of art may call for framing that is not the "normal" and require thinking outside the box with multiple moldings, mixed mats and whatever it takes to make the piece (not just the frame or just the art) look fabulous.  

A "masterpiece" is different for each person and each project and should reflect the art, the home and the client.

Come in with your art and your ideas.  Between us we will create your masterpiece.
