It was a pleasure to work on this huge piece! Go check it out when the museum reopens in March. Other big changes have been made too!

The large print showing the Collins Axe Company about 1920 has been refurbished by Collinsville Framing - thanks to a generous grant from the Northwest Community Bank Foundation! The Museum is reopening with lots more changes on weekends from 1-4 pm beginning March 2nd.

Kate is a fabulous artist! Her beautiful pieces are for sale at her studio on Main Street in Collinsville. Purchase a piece, and I will offer an artist discount if you would like them framed up! ❤️

Fantastic program, with a fabulous teacher!

Hello!😊 Kate here… It’s been a while so I figured I should reintroduce myself, and River City Art. Since starting the studio back in 2010 I have met and taught some amazing kids. A few are even embarking on their Senior Years in college, having chosen a career path centered around art, and I couldn’t be more proud of them❤️
I have a very unique approach to teaching art. No two artists are the same. Imagination, mindful thought and process are totally their own, so I encourage that. We may all be painting on canvas, or doing watercolor but they brainstorm and draw out their ideas and explore from there. I show them the fundamentals of drawing and design, how the mediums work, and the tools to use, leaving them to use and learn at their own pace. I encourage them to try all different mediums, and explore the many styles of art, nurturing their own developing style at the same time. I am excited to see who the next creative thinkers and doers are🎨

Well, I finally stepped into the 1990's! Here's the initial website for Collinsville Framing!

Collinsville Framing has been in business since 1998.  We provide a large selection of frame and matting samples to choose from, along with artwork (both framed and unframed) for sale.

Big changes over here at Collinsville Framing! I have moved back into my former location at the Swedish Church! The address is 13 Center St. Collinsville, CT 06019.

This decision did not come lightly. After taking a hard look at the current state of affairs, I chose to consolidate, and protect my valued clients against the industry pricing increases that are being forced upon us. By making this move, I am able to opt out of that nonsense. It was not simply to appease Brutus the dog, with his multiple requests to have me closer to him. Now if only he would earn his keep! lol

I look forward to seeing you! Brutus is available for petting and kisses upon request.

Best,
Kristen
