I am a professional custom picture framer and designer. I have experience in all areas of picture framing, and own my own custom framing shop. I can answer questions relating to the design of a piece, the preservation of the artwork, color theory, photograph restoration, decor, art placement, room balancing and installation questions.
I have owned my own retail custom frame shop for 5 years, and managed a high-end shop before that for 5.5 years. I worked for a professional restorer and archivist for 8 months prior to the management position. I am also a fine artist myself, with a BFA in Photography and Printmaking, and have been framing my own work for years and years.
BFA Fine Arts, NYSCC at Alfred University, NY
I really have developed a passion for the art of framing over these last ten years. A great frame elevates a piece of artwork, while the wrong one can make the work look uncomfortable at best. I look forward to more years of providing creative, timeless and elegant framing!

Hi Jane, thanks for writing and the detailed info! I don't think the art is too big for the space, but it may be a little tall, because of the square shape. I think it could work well above the
Hi Jake, thanks for writing! So, there are no hard rules on this, but because you're working on a mirror, you have no limitations. A nice wide frame would be great, I'd say you could get away with a
