Previous to that, he worked as a roofing contractor in the Placerville, CA area where he and his wife raised their family. When it was time for a change, Ken remembered as a young child watching his Grandfather work in his art studio and the resultant oil paintings he produced and had framed. Some of these paintings are still hanging and cherished by family members today. From an early age Ken also enjoyed working with his hands and creating things. He feels this carreer change is a good fit for him and enjoys getting up and going to the shop everyday to meet the challanges that custom picture framing holds for him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Isn't picture framing quite expensive?
A. This may be true in some cases, but consider that quality custom picture framing will outlast the carpeting and the furniture in your home, as well as all the cars, clothing, sound systems, televisions, Ipods, VCR, cell phones and any kitchen appliances you'll ever purchase. It can pass from generation to generation and still look as good as when you purchased it. A custom picture frame will never lose its value. Keep this in mind if you value the item you would like to have framed. We always offer several framing options that vary in price depending on how much you would like to spend.

Q. Why should I use a mat?
A. Many people look at mats strictly for their aesthetic qualities, but mats do serve a purpose beyond just looking good. In fact, the primary purpose of a mat is to protect artwork by creating space between the art and the acrylic sheet or glazing for air to circulate, thus protecting the artwork from damage over time. What else do they do? Mats add value to reproductions and suggest importance, indicating the artwork is worth that "little extra touch." Matting helps draw the viewer's eye into the picture while at the same time providing a neutral setting in which the art can be appreciated.

Q. How do I determine my mat border size?
A. While there is no mathematical equation, a good rule of thumb is to provide enough border to create a smooth transition from the artwork to the frame so as not to lose the picture among the matting. Most mats range in width from 1 1/2" for smaller projects (such as an 11" x 14" image) to 4" on projects that measure about 22" x 30". Some people like to make the bottom border a bit larger, to optically-center the artwork. This is called "weighting the bottom" and was quite common in previous eras. Like many aesthetic aspects of framing, this, too, is your preference.

Q. How should I choose my mat and frame colors?
A. If you need help with your color schemes, a color wheel provides an easy way to see how colors relate to one another. Using one color, with a range of shades, tints and intensity (monochromatic color), is soothing to the eye. Colors next to each other on the wheel (related colors) have a calming effect when the colors are dull or muted. Colors directly across from each other on the wheel (complementary colors) create more visual impact because of their obvious differences in hue and intensity. We have hundreds of mat/frame corner samples to assist in finding just the right combination and we are more than happy to help you find which ones you like and work for your environment and artwork. Generally, you'll just know when we find the design that works for you.

Q. Do I need to make an appointment to get an estimate for framing?
A. You can make an appointment anytime during our normal business hours(Mon. - Fri. 10am - 6pm; also on Sat.) All estimates are absolutely free! Normally, however, this is not required-we usually have enough staff on the floor to help you. Occassionaly, you may experience slight delays depending on how busy we are. Also, expect to spend approximately 10 to 20 minutes on design choices and options per item being framed.
