A Portrait of the Ones Who Make a House Feel Like Home.

Custom framing isn’t limited to traditional artwork. Pet portraits can be every bit as meaningful, especially when they capture the personalities that become such a big part of everyday life.

This portrait of Pippin & Sammy was finished with a classic black frame, generous neutral matting, and a small nameplate below. A simple presentation that keeps the attention exactly where it belongs.

Have a pet portrait or another meaningful piece you’d like framed? Bring it by The Beacon Studio and we’ll help you find the right presentation.

A little Caribbean color for the walls.

This framed Vieques exhibition poster features a coastal painting by Glen Wielgus, with brilliant blue water, rocky cliffs, and palms overlooking the shoreline.

The wide white border gives the colorful artwork room to stand out, while the simple black frame provides a clean, understated finish.

A lovely example of how an exhibition poster can become a striking piece of wall art.

There's plenty to take in with this vibrant coastal scene. From the brilliant blue water and lush greenery to the sunlit terrace, every corner of the artwork is full of colour and movement.

The textured wood frame and warm, neutral matting provide a quieter contrast, giving the artwork room to shine without competing with its energy.

It's a great example of how thoughtful framing can complement a colourful piece without overpowering it.

Some portraits deserve a place of their own.

This cat portrait pairs a clean white mat with a textured dark frame, keeping the attention on the artwork while giving the finished piece plenty of presence on the wall.

Whether it’s an original portrait, illustration, photograph, or another piece inspired by a much-loved pet, custom framing can turn it into something that feels right at home.

A Tribute to a Very Good Friend

Some of the most meaningful pieces we frame aren’t traditional artwork at all.
This custom memorial brings together Ruby’s photograph, paw prints, collar and a personalized keepsake in one display. Thoughtful details like these can tell a story in a way a single photograph simply can’t, creating something deeply personal for the people who loved them.

We’re always honored to help our customers find a thoughtful way to display the memories that matter most.

This charming painting of three curious cats already has plenty of character, and the ornate gold frame brings another layer of personality to the piece. The warm aged finish, carved details, and substantial profile feel right at home with the artwork.

Custom framing doesn’t always mean making something look new. Sometimes it’s about finding a presentation that feels like it has belonged with the artwork all along.

Some sports memories deserve more than a spot in the camera roll.
This panoramic captures packed stands, illuminated field and Boston skyline all working together in one incredible wide-format image.

The clean black frame and layered matting give the panorama plenty of room to make an impact without competing with the image itself.

A great example of custom framing built around the proportions and character of the piece.

Celebrating a Remarkable Season

A 27-0-0 record. The 2022 NCAA National Championship. And a career with Middlebury Women’s Ice Hockey spanning more than three decades.

This custom piece for Coach Bill Mandigo brings together team photos, career highlights, a championship puck and even a piece of netting from “The Perfect Season.”

There’s a lot of history in one frame, and plenty here to stop and look at.

A Piece of Golf History, Framed
The 2022 U.S. Open brought championship golf to The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.

This commemorative poster captures that moment with an illustrated view of the historic course, finished in a green frame that feels like it was made for the artwork.

Custom framing is a great way to preserve posters and memorabilia from the sporting events you were lucky enough to experience in person, or simply never want to forget.

A Boston Marathon Memory Worth Framing

Crossing the Boston Marathon finish line is the kind of moment that deserves more than a spot in a photo album.

This custom display brings together a 2017 Boston Marathon medal with race-day photos and a newspaper clipping, creating one piece that tells the story of the experience.

Custom framing can bring photos, medals, clippings and other personal memorabilia together in a display that keeps the whole story in one place.
