What framing materials do you use?
We use conservation-grade materials including museum-quality glass, acid-free mats, and ethically sourced timbers. Our framing processes prioritise artwork preservation while maintaining aesthetic appeal and structural integrity for long-term display.
Do you offer design consultations?
Yes, our expert consultants provide comprehensive design services for both framing projects and TV-Mirror installations. This includes space assessment, material selection guidance, and custom design creation to match individual interior requirements.

Outstanding advice and selection of frames. Cindy was amazing in helping us select the best frames for our art that also match its location in our home.

I was originally planning on framing a project myself but figured I'd pop into a local shop to see what they can do. I let Cindy know what I was looking for and she helped me find a frame that was perfect. The end result shows her experience and ability to find a frame that compliments art beautifully. I wasn't surprised to see that every rating for this shop is 5/5 and I'm pleased to add to that reputation. Thank you Cindy!

Every time I bring a photo or an art piece to be framed, I'm always in awe of Cindy Jones, of the Frame & Art Shop. Always Smiling, Cindy really makes you feel at home and makes the framing of a piece very easy! She walks you through different mats and frames , until you are pleased. I've known Cindy for years and she has never wavered in her knowledge and love for her craft.

Cindy did an AMAZING job of taking a collection painting from a damaged frame, helping us select the perfect frame and then doing a floating mount and a frame within a frame feature to bring the painting to life! It truly looks like a museum quality piece of art now. Thank you Cindy!
