After 22 years in the framing industry in New York City, I returned to my hometown of Tucson, partially to care for my elderly parents, but also to start my own framing company in 2019. Tucson was where I’d first learned framing, and over the years I found myself missing Tucson more and more. I wanted to create an alte
rnative to conventional frame shops in Tucson by offering custom frames that are made by hand from scratch in my home workshop. I approach every new project with my deeply held belief that to properly frame a picture the frame itself must be well made. This is why I make my frames from beautiful solid hardwood using traditional joinery. In addition, I work with a curated selection of frame makers around the world, giving me the unique ability to produce frames with unlimited possibilities for designs that are in perfect harmony with the specific characteristics of each picture. More than a custom frame shop, I have a complete woodworking shop where I use beautiful hardwoods to make frames by hand with classic furniture-making techniques that have been adapted to the particularly refined and precise demands of picture frame-making. Since I combine frame design and production in one small shop, I’m able to, in effect, return to the pre-industrial era of picture framing longed for by the Arts & Crafts Movement, when craftsmen built frames one at a time for the picture, before it became a big business with factories producing pre-finished moulding only in trendy colors and styles. With my approach, I can produce truly inventive framing designs, invented in collaboration with my clients. Though I specialize in designs inspired by Tucson’s design and architectural history, my process lends itself to transcending particular styles which offers you the opportunity to place your picture in the perfect setting, one that will endure in both design and craftsmanship.
