Excellent work, we brought 2 paintings and the framing work were extraordinary.
Erin and the team are super friendly and professionals. It is amazing how a normal painting becomes an important part of our home. Good luck and all the best Artis Pura.

ARTIS PURA provides the best framing in the Brisbane and South East Queensland. Their restoration work is brilliant and they are only too happy to provide direction and advice. The work they have done for me over the years - from restoring my elderly father's baby photo and frame to more modern pieces in their "Native Timbers" range elicit great comments from those who see them.

I have had several pieces of Japanese ukiyo-e framed at Artis Pura. Each frame has been unique and complements the artwork and as a couple of my pieces are more than 160 years old, it's a relief to know they're protected under conservation-quality glass. Each of my dealings with every staff member have been professional and courteous and I would happily recommend Erin and her team.

Awesome service and quality. Erin and the team have always framed my work perfectly and everyone Ive referred to them has been very happy! They also have an awesome washroom filled with preloved frames and other art supplies that Ive used for my work - well worth a poke about in there!

If you want to talk to the absolute best framer in Brisbane, Artis Pura is where you need to go. Erin & her team will bring your ideas to life, probably even better than you imagined! Plus, they'll make sure they last a lifetime by using the best techniques & materials to suit your piece. Honestly can't sing their praises enough! I'm so, so happy with the result. Every little detail is perfect, from the flawless conservation glass & pure cotton mounting, down to little felt pads on the corners so it doesn't scratch my wall. Thanks Erin!
