Helpful Tips for Framing:

  1. When buying prints, try to select a standard size so that it’s easier to find a suitable and more affordable frame.

  2. Matting paper pieces elevates the art & makes the artwork appear to be more elegant & aesthetically pleasing.

  3. When paper pieces have a deckled edge (like the painting to the left), float mounting the art really elevates and enhances the work.

  4. If you purchase a custom painting or commission, always ask the artist for advice!

  5. Shop at local thrift stores, estate sales, or vintage stores - you can find some great deals and steals!

  6. Always pick a frame that doesn’t take away from the artwork! It should enhance the work but never deter the eye.
