The Frame

Adding a piece of art or two to your home or office is a great investment and adds character & warmth to your space. Searching for that special creation which fits your personality is fun & exciting! And just as your new painting must speak to you, the frame you select to enhance it is just as important.  If you choose to surround your painting with a lovely piece of wood, metal, fiberglass etc., the material should compliment the artist’s work as well as the style of the home or office.  In what seems to be a sea of frame styles to choose from, it can be quite a challenge deciding  on the one.  It is definitely rewarding when that perfect one is found!

Some of my work calls for a frame, while some of my larger abstracts are left unframed with painted edges to create a frame illusion.  I enjoy working with clients in this selection process.  If a frame is needed, off we go to the frame shop, with  painting in tow, along with a photo of the space where it will be displayed.  Once the selection is narrowed down and the perfect frame emerges, the art feels complete. It is as if the painting and frame have a Jerry Maguire,  “you complete me” moment!

Maybe you have a wall that needs some freshening up or your new in-home office needs some pizazz … begin the search, you will know when you have found the right one…. the art and the frame will speak to you!  Happy art hunting!
