... itself rather than reintroducing it in the matting. Otherwise, you run the risk of having the matting call too much attention to itself instead of allowing your artwork to be the focal point, as we discussed above. Don’t skimp on the mat width. To me, a skinny mat looks like you are squeezing your artwork into a frame you already had and are trying ...

It will never escalate in value and you will probably never be able to resell it.  The old saying "You get what you pay for" applies in this case.  Buyer Beware: If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Get or ...

If I knew then what I know now… You can say that about a great many things, but today, I’m referring to PORTRAITS.  When you are young or have young children, you don’t often think about freezing a moment in time.  Trust me – in what seems like a split second, your babies turn into adults who live far away and you and your spouse reach ...

We often learn from our clients and recently, we heard a great line from an artist who came in to frame one of her portraits.  She said, "Finding a great frame is like putting a diamond in the perfect setting."  We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.  ...
