Shadowbox-style, top-mounted canvas
Fall holidays are often about feasting, so this silverware painting in fall colors seems timely. The work is top mounted, shadowbox style. Museum glass over the whole piece provides protection from UV rays and air pollutants while minimizing reflections and glare — and of course…
Fun, colorful frame for Winehouse portrait
We set this Amy Winehouse portrait in a playful, green frame (detail, below), matching and tying in to the use of green in the artwork, and to help the oranges and reds featured in the work really “pop.” Artwork by Liz Watson, Indie Doll Studio. …

Gold Filigree Frame, Shadow-box style
We’ve floated this Jamie Ann Ratliff work, shadow-box style, in a gold filigree frame. The sea green mat ties it all together without upstaging the vibrant, tropical tones in the artwork. The piece is fitted with non-glare museum glass, ensuring clear viewing with minimal reflections…

Look no further than this piece to appreciate the nature of the bespoke experience of custom picture framing. Clearly, this is not the sort of picture frame you can buy off a retail shelf! A unique and elaborate frame surrounding a broad, textured linen mat,…

Picture Frame Trends
This 12×16 graphic landscape is set in a closed corner frame (New Look Frames). The tarnished silk liner adds texture and subtle, rustic overtones. We frame similar pieces for our store display windows, and as we cycle them out, sell them at discount — fully…
Color-Matched Picture Frames

This demo piece illustrates some of the picture framing techniques we can employ to your artwork, posters or any framing project. While a simple picture frame — or a frame and a single mat — are appropriate for many situations, there are times when some…
Shadowboxes Perfect For Mixed Media
Sometimes we’re brought mixed-media, including textures (such as butterflies, in the pictured work of art) or thick objects that result in anything but a “flat” piece of art. Customers are concerned that the work can’t be properly framed, but nothing could be further from the…
