What are the elements that go into a beautiful, effective and unique frame design? 

There are litterally thousands of matting and framing options to explore:  do we add a fillet to the mat, or to the frame.  Do we use fabrics, such as linen, silk, suede or a multitude of other choices.  What is the mood we want to capture:  modern, contemporary, tradtional, victorian, or eclectic.  A romantic piece such as a wedding or engagement photo may suggest silks, golds and silvers with a fillet inside the mat.  A funny, funky piece of art may call for framing that is not the "normal" and require thinking outside the box with multiple moldings, mixed mats and whatever it takes to make the piece (not just the frame or just the art) look fabulous. 

A masterpiece is different for each person and each project and should reflect the art, the home and the client.

Come in with your art and your ideas.  Between us we will create your masterpiece.

 If you think all Art & Framing shops are the same, we'd like to challenge your opinion. 

At Newberg Gallery, we dare to be creative in every aspect of our business.

But our real claim to distinction is our thoroughly different approach to framing.  Whether you bring us artwork or buy it here, we treat each project as an opportunity  to create a special presentation.  We carry hundreds (if not thousands) moldings, mats or liners to choose from right here in the store  --  among the largest selections available  -- and have access to thousands more through our state-of-the-art computer software.  We won't rest until we've  worked with you to find the perfect, harmonious blend of elements.

Most importantly, our design and  production work is performed by  certified, experienced framers using the best mounting and framing equipment available.  Along with framing original and Limited Edition artwork, we have experience framing old photos, keepsakes and hand-made items from the simple to the complex.  Framing Mirrors is also one of our specialties.  In all cases, we are happy to provide free estimates.
