568 GOODWOOD ROAD, DAW PARK, ADELAIDE
Original works of art, limited edition prints, or memorabilia of any value, be it financial or sentimental, should be protected by a high-quality picture frame. Whether you are a collector, an artist or simply have an eye for quality, my beautiful and unique frames will ensure your art is tastefully displayed and protected for a lifetime.
I am fully conversant in the latest conservation-framing techniques and contemporary presentation styles, including float-mounting and shadow-box frames. Although superior-quality custom framing requires high-quality materials, it needn’t cost a fortune so long as a few basic principles are adhered to and I can tailor my services to help find a solution to suit almost any budget.
​
I have over a decade of experience in the industry and have framed original artworks made using a variety of different materials, often with their own unique challenges, from delicate paper-cut collages like the piece above by Yola & Daria, to heavy mosaics, textile works and mixed-media pieces.
My standard frames are made from Tasmanian Oak, a sustainably-grown Australian hardwood. I create my own custom timber stain mixes and can colour-match to suit the artwork itself or to match the décor in which it to be hung, from rich wood tones to wild and saturated colours.
​
All paper works are held in place with water-release adhesive tabs. I DO NOT use glue or double-sided tape when mounting artwork and everything I do is both fully reversible and done with the long-term preservation of the artwork in mind. Textile works and sports memorabilia are stitched and, for more complicated or unusual pieces, I will find non-invasive installation technique. Adhesives will only be used as a last resort and only ever after clear consultation with the client.
​
All mats and backing boards are acid-free and all my frames are fitted with 99% UV-resistant, conservation grade glass which will protect the work from fading for a lifetime. Non-reflective glass and acrylic are also available.
For something special I can also produce unique hand-crafted custom mouldings in contemporary or traditional styles using reclaimed or exotic timbers, including classical mouldings and modern live-edge frames like the piece below made from native Yellow Box timber.
In addition to prints and photographs, I frame textile pieces, sports memorabilia and other unusual or difficult pieces.
​
I can also repair or retrofit vintage frames with replacement mats or glass to house new works or simply bring an old frame up to the latest conservation standards.
