Thierry Noir canvas in deep steel frame
We used a pink floater frame to pull on the color and show off the edges of this @thierrynoir piece on canvas and a welded steel frame to hold the Optium Plexi Glass over the piece and keep that street art edge. Museum Quality Framing!

Watercolor paintings in contemporary frame design
We framed these dreamy watercolor pieces by Kenyan artist @mumbi_muturi here in our San Francisco frame shop. Check out her dramatic and beautiful portrait photography, too! The teak frames added a bit of a softer contrast to the watercolor painings, and floating the art gives the frame design contemporary look.
Abstract painting for good Monday framing project
We floated this beautiful abstract by @jkamine_art to show off the cool paper and movement in the piece and added a gold fillet to pull on the warmth and small amount of gold in the painting. Perfect piece of art for a framing project and to show off for nice start of the week!
