One of the most rewarding experiences for a framer is collaborating directly with artists whose work he especially responds to, and who appreciate the power of frames to enhance their pictures. With a particular emphasis on contemporary northern California landscape painting, all work celebrates the beauty of nature and life in harmony with it. We are proud to be presenting these outstanding artists.
Every piece we offer is original and signed. We invite you browse these pages, and visit our gallery to see the work in person.

Landscape Painters
“Now is the time to restore our dedication to landscape painting… To paint the landscape is one of the most ancient of human endeavors. Landscape is surely the most supreme of art subjects. Nature is always with us and indeed it is within us…. (She) is indeed our mother and we turn to her when we need respite.” — Jean Stern
