Oak Wood Frame For Art In Shadowbox
For this beautiful art print we used a white oak to pull on the warmth but still allow the piece to get the full attention. Oak is such a beautiful wood and here at Underglass Custom Picture Framing we are glad it’s been making a comeback! Shadowbox framing is just one of our specialties we […]
Welded Steel Frame for Ulrike Arnold’s Art on Canvas
Ulrike Arnold has travelled to all continents to paint with stones and earth and meteorites on site, mixed with binder to produce works on canvas.

Color and Style Choices for Wall Frames

So Many Ways To Frame Art Prints
We love the options we have when we frame art prints! With a more traditional mat that is placed on top of the edges and a walnut custom frame for the blue Roger Brown lithograph from 1970 we created a really strong and bold look. The second colorful print is so much fun and we […]

This concert poster is now framed so it can be enjoyed and protected for […]
Framing a 70’s Art School Project
This was an art school project from the late 70’s. The goal was to look like a storyboard for a book about birdwatching. We recreated the exact mat openings that the artist originally had to cut by hand; we added the squared openings around each grouping to add a bit more structure. The actual frame […]
