I’m super excited to offer giclee prints of “THE FLATS” by artist Rachel Dawn Renaudin (my incredibly talented sister). The original piece, commissioned by a family in Shaker Hts., brings alive the Cleveland Flats with rich color, depth, and movement. Beautiful giclee prints of the original painting are available for purchase at my studio. Custom sized prints are also available by special order.

Commission of the Cleveland Skyline with the characteristic Industrial flats in the foreground. There is a distinct sense of kinetic energy the layered effect of the palette knife evokes; giving a sensation of life and movement to this piece as if the painting itself were breathing. Historically, the city of Cleveland has a rich and colorful past concerning its development and adaptation during key points of the industrial revolution. This painting hints towards experiences of an era past while simultaneously illustrating the constant change and prospects of an evolving future.

Long time clients of mine asked if I would frame some of their daughters artwork. It was their daughter Cc’s 9th birthday and her mother wanted to create a club house just for her. She had saved Cc’s artwork for years, so we sorted through her many pieces and decided to create an entire wall of her art. I was amazed by Cc’s talent and her use of color for someone so young. I wanted to highlight the color in her pieces and decided to keep the matting consistent and play with using color in the frames to make each piece really pop.

15% off all framing orders - Bring pictures of your wall!

As a picture framer and designer, I’ve learned that framing art is an opportunity to create a new dimension that lets the artwork “speak louder,” brightens its essence, and works to elevate the overall design of your home. While framing should absolutely enhance your artwork, where you hang it should do the same. I like to think of your home as the second or outside frame.

That’s why I love when customers bring in pictures of their homes and pictures of where they think their artwork will hang. This gives me the opportunity to help bring their ideas and design aesthetic to their framing project. The more I know about your art and where it will hang, the more I can help build that image and style into framing selections.

So bring some pictures of your home and take advantage of our special offer of 15% off all framing orders. This offer is good through Mother’s Day, May 12, 2019.

Please call for an appointment. Hope to see you soon!
