Finally getting a chance to post some great opportunities I had framing some really special pieces.

Several of the pieces were brought to me from a huge Star Wars fan. They traveled to Tokyo for the convention, purchasing beautiful artwork on site. Waiting up to eight hours for certain items.

All of these items were large scale, except one. Simple mattes of different cream and white tones. Same black wood frame for all. Matted in acid free, archival materials for preservation. Hand cut martes snd frames made to order with precision.

It was such an honor to be given the opportunity to frame these beauties! Thank you to my client, (not tagging for privacy) I appreciate your family supporting small businesses! Enjoy

We all build our resumes in various ways. I’ve been out of the artist loop for quite a while , except the few fabulous mural opportunities in the recent years.

As my fellow artists can surely attest, if you aren’t feeling inspired…the visions, ideas, colors; any and all of it just doesn’t happen. Not well anyway.

Getting my work in the public eye has always been a sure motivator, it gets the “ flow state” energy…flowing.

Last month, I had an energetic moment or a “vision,” of having my work in a larger scene, build my resume per se, and continue to grow outside of just being a local artist.

Feeling ambitious, I submitted a couple of my larger paintings to a jury in the Detroit area, hopeful they’d bite on one for an exhibition I’d like to be a part of.

Just received word, I’m in! One of my pieces has been selected as part of the VISION AND IMAGINATION exhibit, representing the Detroit Society of Woman Painters and Sculptures. Founded in 1903, DSWPS is one of the longest standing artist society in the USA.
Very excited to be heading to Pontiac, Michigan with my work.

Pleas join in supporting and celebrating woman in the arts!

Finally getting the chance to post the photos..Before and After.
Framing needs updating, just as a car, phone, furniture etc! Especially after 100+ years..

I recently had the pleasure, and honor of doing the restoration & custom framing for several very unique pieces circa 1800's.

Amazing to see how things were framed back in the day, and matted! The mattes were homemade, with masonite board of sorts, paper, and hand embossed on the front. Incredible. (photos coming soon)

Very sad ACID FREE anything was non-existent back then. Over the years the discoloration is problematic, and artwork also becomes brittle, I was able to save the priceless works of art, and restore the frames to almost look original! What a treat.

Saving the original wavy glass was one of my main priorities. The fella that brought the wonderful etching, and lithographs to me, had no idea what he actually had. I've never seen etchings so large, and beautifully detailed. Hand forged nails. I salvaged a few for my keeping. Jaw dropping to say the least. Absolutely had to call my dad to take a look!
Super fun stuff, but I'm whipped! A few solids days of framing.. been a while. but a nice change of pace. Off they went today, and will travel to Florida. Hoping they make it there safely. Precious cargo ...

If you have anything of importance, and wish to preserve it, I beg you..please do not use paper mattes, masking tape, scotch tape , duct tape etc. Acid free mattes, foam , tape and UV glass should be seriously considered if you want your special items to last. It doesn't' take long for materials to deteriorate. I've been custom framing just about anything you can think of ( hence the name YOU NAME IT - WE FRAME IT) for the last 20 years.. I've' had things literally crumble in my hands due to improper framing and preserving.

Don't wait! Protect and Preserve your special items today!
