We will not be open this week, we got waylaid in Minnesota seeing family for the holidays. If you were hoping to pick up a finished project, reach out to me and we’ll set up a time once I get myself back to Iowa City. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we did get some great sledding in with all of the snow up here!

Saw this gal ride off to her new home. I had a lot of fun putting this project together. I am working hard to finish up all of the holiday orders in the shop, you ‘ll be hearing from me soon if you’re expecting pieces for the holiday. Thank you for your continued support, it means so much to me!

This beautiful depiction of Mother Earth left the shop recently, and I was so sad to see her go! There have been so many cool projects coming through the shop, I barely have time to grab any photos, but glad I was able to get this one. Thank you for all of the art, I love being your framer!

Apologies for my absence here! Along with the physical aspects of the shop and getting back up and running, I lost access to this platform on my phone for awhile. I also don’t have new projects to show, my photo set up got destroyed in the water and I haven’t gotten a new one set up.

BUT! I am back and working hard. I will be in the shop today, 11-6, and tomorrow 11-4. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy this ABC print, custom printed for my long time friend’s oldest child. I hope everyone gets to enjoy a 25 year friendship.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out during this time, it has been hard and strange, but is quickly becoming the past. I will be resuming normal operating hours next week, Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 11-6. The phone is connected once again, and while still getting settled, I’m starting to work through all of the projects that had to be put on hold during this time. I am so looking forward to seeing you all again.

This painting hung in our client’s grandmother’s home, and they were so grateful to have it saved and redone. The joy I get to see in this line of work is such a huge part of why I do what I do.

We are still dealing with the water damage to the building, thank you for your patience. Everyone involved is trying to make this as easy and quick as we can, but some of these things take time to do well. Email is still the best way to get a hold of me: [email protected]
I’m looking forward to getting back to work and seeing all of your amazing projects!

A few items left to move, but the rest of the demolition is starting today. I’ll be out of the shop for the foreseeable future while it gets put back together. I will not have access to the phone while I’m out, so email is going to be the best way to get a hold of me: [email protected]

Thank you for all of your concern, well wishes, and support. I have a great crew trying to get me back into the shop and working as fast as possible. Thank you to the many friends who helped me load and pack and unload all sorts of material and equipment this last week, nothing ever happens alone around here! I’m so grateful for this community, I appreciate your continued trust and support and am looking forward to getting back to something that looks normal.

I will not be taking in new projects until I’m back in the shop. But I will be doing what I can to keep working on the current projects I have in motion. That being said, expect some delays in our projected timeline. Thank you!

In the midst of everything, it turns out my phone is now offline. Sorry if you’ve tried to call. Hoping to have this part fixed up by tomorrow. Here until six today if you want to come by for a pickup. Thanks!

Showed up this morning to water covering the entire floor, not quite the workload I thought I was coming in to today. All of the artwork is ok, thankfully! I’ve been told that it’ll be about a week until the fans and dehumidifiers can be shut off. For this week, I am not taking in new work, as all of my available table space is occupied. But I will be in the shop for pickups of finished work and keeping current projects moving as best I can. Thanks for understanding!

Normal hours today, but tomorrow we’ll be opening late, whenever I finish up with my presentation! It is open to the public, if you want to come out for it. I’ll be discussing my methods, and how I got into framing and will be taking questions from the crowd. I’m really looking forward to this!

We are back from vacation and open today with normal hours, 11-6. But next Wednesday, we will be a little late in opening the shop because I am speaking at the Stanley about framing. Check out the flyer for details, and come by if you’re able! I’m really looking forward to this event!

This is handmade paper. The whole thing. The artist layered all of these pieces together to create the final piece, no tape, no glue, just patience and incredible technique. There is so much texture to this piece, so we didn’t put glass on it so it can be viewed and touched to believe.

NEXT WEEK we will be closed! 7/20-7/31 we will NOT have our normal open hours. We will resume operations on 8/5. Thanks for all of your support!
