Every day our clients surprise us in wonderful ways. We are honored to be framing some large-scale oil paintings that traveled to our shop all of the way from Musanze, Rwanda. We quite enjoy these works of art created by energetic, conservationist, philanthropist, artist Rigobert Uwiduhaye.

We would like to take you on our journey and show you some of our processes here at Art Partners in Silver Spring, Maryland. Here are a couple of teaser photos. Right now the paintings are rolled up waiting to be placed on fresh new wood.
