What We Do
My mission at Waters Edge Gallery & Framery is to provide our customers with a professional, well thought out package to frame their most beloved pieces of art and family photos. I personally have, on and off, over 50 years experience framing for customers in West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica and Malibu, and now in Gig Harbor, Washington. I also worked as a commercial illustrator, so I have an eye for art.
My process is simple:
You bring in your item to be framed. We talk a little bit about where it might be going, wall color, etc.. I have almost 500 corner samples of mouldings and matboard colors available. We’ll start together with selecting matboard colors, if appropriate, that work with and accent some of the colors in the customer’s piece. My goal is to make the artwork or photo pop and not have the focal point be the frame. The frame we then choose is to be a part of the overall look of the piece. All material I use is acid-free and will not degrade your piece. I offer three levels of glass: regular glass, which has no UV protection, Conservation Clear glass, which is 99% UV protection and Museum glass which is also 99% UV protection and is the finest glass you get. I also can use plexiglass that’s 99% UV protected if the customer prefers that.
Together we can create a piece you’ll be proud to display at your home or office.
If it is a family heirloom photo, I treat it with the utmost caution while selecting the proper frame and matboard.
Some of the items I provide:
Single framed art or photo. Multi-opening mat board for montage photo displays. Framed mirrors. Shadowboxes for personal displays such as military medals and the like, athletic jerseys with game tickets and photos.
