Q: What should I l
ook for in both a consultant and a picture framer?
 

A: They should be knowledgeable about color coordination, trends in art and interior design, and the artist's feelings for the art being framed. Consultants can recommend matting and picture frame treatments that will enhance both the image and your individual décor. A good picture framer is able to suggest picture framing methods that will work best with your budget. They should also have the experience to properly frame any type of art.

Q: How much does framing cost?
 

A: Framing prices depend on how big your picture is and what components and services your picture needs. We don't know the answer to that until we look at your artwork with you, measure it, and design a beautiful and appropriate framing treatment for it. Bring in your art and we can give you an exact price based on what frame and extras you select.
