Picture Framing and Art Preservation/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer any questions related to picture framing, art display, or art installation, including very large pieces, canvas stretching, shadow boxing, needlework mounting, and just about any type of dimensional or non-dimensional artwork display. The only questions I cannot answer pertain to fine artwork restoration (e.g. your Van Gogh oil painting is faded and you want it to be restored to the original brilliance--call a reputable museum for that).

Experience in the area

I have been in the picture framing business since 1987, with a specialization in hospitality (hotels) and commercial office installations. I have worked on artwork for nearly every major hotel and design firm in the world and have designed some pretty wild installations. Additionally, I have experience with almost every type of conservation technique

Education/Credentials

All of my education was acquired in the field.

2009-10-17 correct way to hang picture above fireplace:

The standard height at which to hang pictures is eye level on center, meaning that the center of the piece should be hung at the eye level of a 5'8" person. As you have already discovered, it's not that

This is a great question. I don't want to imply that a chain frameshop wouldn't have any good framers; certainly there are good framers and bad ones in any kind of shop. Lots of great framers began
