About
The Artfully Framed Mission
“Your Treasures, Beautifully Protected.” Our goal at Artfully Framed is to provide you with quality custom framing for your art, collectibles or personal treasures.
We are committed to protecting and preserving your items for generations to come. We also offer the best designs of anyone in the area.
Truly great custom framing starts with the materials that go into a frame package. Think of it as the foundation of a house. You don’t immediately see that foundation, but eventually if it isn’t sound, the house will start to deteriorate. The same is true with a custom framing package. Many framers will use less expensive boards, substrates and methods to keep the initial cost down, but those short sighted savings can mean irreparable damage in the long run. We work hard to bring you a product that will not only look good, but will remain stable and secure for generations.
To stay at the top of our design game, we compete in professional design competitions. Our designs and craftmanship have won many Regional and International awards, including the Professional Picture Framer’s Association (PPFA) International Grand Prize in 2006, Honorable Mention at the PPFA International level in 2009, and again in 2010.
Local Artists
Artfully Framed proudly represents some of the best artists from the area, and beyond. When you are ready to graduate from wall décor to real art, we’ve done some of the research for you. Some of our artists are professional, some are up and coming and some are very skilled hobbyists that have a flair unique to them. If the art speaks to you, you can feel good about contributing to the livelihood of real artists, while getting a bargain for yourself. Fine art doesn’t have to be expensive and we simply offer you the very best in local talent.
Artists currently featured in our gallery: Laura Clark, Kathy Dickson, Tim Edington, Marj Hedstrom, Kim Hoefer, Mark Pelton, and Rose Anne Stanard
