Aside from Mother Nature, art is the most powerful force on our planet.

I began collecting concert posters and various signed limited edition prints more than 18 years ago. At first I was able to keep up with having the prints framed as I acquired them, and then my collection started to spiral out of control. I have always supported local business so I went to local framers, never one of those ever-popular coupon-pushing big box stores. Framing my collection became expensive. When I took a piece in to be framed I chose the colors and frame, and did the layouts, so I figured why not learn to frame for myself.
In the fall of 2018, I decided to start making my dream a reality. I began researching what I needed to get my shop going and immediately got started. In the spring of 2019, I found myself in Dorena, Oregon learning how to frame from Certified Professional Master Framer Sandra Landes. Before I arrived in Oregon, I had never seen a mat cutter or any framing equipment, aside from a miter saw, in person. I returned to Pennsylvania with nine of my own custom pieces on display in my studio.
I have a Master of Arts in History and believe in preserving the past while thinking about the future. Therefore I am preservation minded when it comes to framing. Unless otherwise stated by the client, I will only use acid free materials and UV blocking glass in order to protect your special item and provide you with many years of joy as the art hangs on your wall.
I incorporate my artistic and creative talents into my finished pieces. I like to use mats and frames that go well with the print, but also like to choose colors based on things such as the artist, the subject of the art, where the print was purchased, etc. This allows me to give you a one of a kind piece to hang on your wall.
I believe that everyone should surround themselves in whatever type of art makes them happy, which is why I offer creative, quality, one of a kind framing at an affordable price.
