FRAMED EXAMPLES:

Some examples are done by myself as part of my framing package, some I had custom framed for clients, and some were custom framed ones commissioned by clients. Custom framing is better quality, and there are so many more options, but I offer the stock framing package as a courtesy for clients who don’t want custom. It is also great for gifts, as they come ready to hang, and look more finished than an unframed portrait. Traditional art looks better framed, and can look “incomplete” without a frame. A quality frame is like a quality suit – it really enhances the whole effect!
