The most friendly and helpful team I could have hoped for. They managed my awkward last minute needs calmly and within my budget, really stellar service.

Knowledgeable staff who can help you choose the right frame and mount for your picture. Turnaround times low. Not the cheapest, but by no means the most expensive.

A wonderful gallery that showcases the best local artists and a few paintings from afar. I’ve bought several artworks already, and also got them to reframe one for me. I would strongly recommend their services.

FAQs
-
Yes we do. We frame all kids of sports clothing and items. Please bring your item in to The Gallery and we can show you samples and discuss your project with you.
-
No, we don’t do dry mounting.
Paper is never truly flat, it appears flat in comparison to curved objects. Paper can become wavy because it absorbs and releases moisture from the air, causing it to expand or contract unevenly. Other common causes include handling, previous storage (like being tightly rolled in a tube or folded), or being taped too tightly, which prevents the paper from "breathing" naturally. Any previous folds or creases are permanent and the framing process will not remove them. Paper can change after being framed from environmental temperature changes and moisture. Sometimes mounting on thin paper can look worse because shadows form between the paper and mount.
If you have concerns about your paper artwork, we are happy to discuss it. You may like to source a paper conservation or dry mounting specialist.
