Beautiful and Professional Framing

I am an artist and look for professional framing as well as prices that are not overly inflated. That is why I come here. I have brought many pieces to the shop and am always impressed. I also enjoy sharing creative ideas with the owner, Paul. My artwork is not grand scale or museum worthy, but with his framing, I always feel like it gets upgraded to "darn good!" He's charming to boot!

The framer, Paul composed a piece of art with magnificent matting and framing for a special wedding anniversary gift for our good friends, using photographs that we gave him.

Their portraits were cut out and laid down on matboard in an interesting way. Then using colors from the photos themselves, he artistically tied them all together with geometric curves and lines, quite the modern art style --done softly, understatedly but fantastically. He applied just the right amount of gold leaf to create quite a piece of art.

With gorgeous matting and framing Paul turned these photos into an extraordinary, one of a kind gift.

I am not a collector of fine art, but a sentimentalist. I gave Paul the last pictures taken of my mother before she died a few months ago and a wisp of her hair. I took his framing and matting suggestion and was really choked up when I picked up the piece ... that amazing. So, I have decided to express my thanks to him through this review. It takes a sensitive artist to render what he did; I believe it is called a shadow box. He copied bits of the forest seen in the photos to create a 3D matting. I get the feeling I am in the woods with mom ... and the strands of hair--seems like they were caught by a passing breeze, so alive. You have a gift Paul. Many thanks.

I brought in two inexpensive posters for some fancy framing hoping that their look would improve. The posters were left by the former office tenant -- their frames were cheap and didn't match any of my furniture. These two posters with Paul's great matting and framing look extraordinary - the mats and frames match the decor now and really do create a finished and designer look.

Downsizing to a small office space has been difficult. I took the large bevelled mirror which Paul framed for my large office long ago and placed it solo on a wall. Small new space with this great impressive mirror alone on one wall created a wonderful look. Makes the smaller space look grand. This piece is still amazing after all these years and I have an even greater appreciation for it now.

I highly recommend this framer for art and mirror framing.
