The Framing Process

View from a person sitting with legs crossed in a woodworking workshop with various tools, wood pieces, and machinery, and a partially constructed wooden frame.

Every original painting deserves a handcrafted hardwood frame made with the same care as the artwork itself.

Long before a painting is ready to hang, another process begins in the workshop. Every frame starts as rough hardwood, carefully milled, shaped, and assembled in my studio. By building custom hardwood frames myself, I'm able to create a finished piece where the artwork and its presentation were always meant to belong together.

Every frame begins with carefully selected hardwood. Rather than using pre-made moulding, I mill each board myself, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to become part of the finished piece.

The process takes more time, but it allows every frame to be created specifically for the original artwork it will hold.

Creating a frame is a process of patience and precision. Each board is carefully prepared, refined, and shaped before it's ready for assembly.

Many of these details may never be noticed on their own, but together they become handcrafted picture frames that quietly support the painting without ever competing for attention.

For me, the frame is never an afterthought.
It's an extension of the artwork itself.

Every profile, proportion, and finish is chosen to enhance the painting, creating custom framed artwork that feels complete from the moment it leaves my studio.

Some days are spent with brushes in hand. Others are spent surrounded by hardwood, sawdust, and woodworking tools.

Both are equally important.

From the first brushstroke to the final frame, every step is part of creating fine art that's meant to be lived with and enjoyed for years to come.

Every original painting is thoughtfully finished with a handcrafted frame, built in my workshop to complement the artwork it surrounds.
