We love this beautiful signed limited edition giclee, featuring bright fall colors and a gorgeous view. The stark white linen mat with it’s pecan burl frame make this scene pop. This is a lake near Linville, NC.

This colorful arrangement of peppers is framed with a gold linen mat, red accent bevel and a white wash frame with as many contours as the peppers themselves. This piece is part of a set with the squash family being it’s pair.
Distant Trees

This contemporary mini print demands your attention when you see it framed. We used a heavy embossed burl frame with a fillet sandwiched between two mats and finished with museum glass. The presentation makes it look like a very expensive print.
Meandering

Juul’s compositions are fresh original expressions of the colors and patterns of water in motion. This canvas is part of a pair and they are both ready to frame with your style in mind.

Dry mounting permanently attaches and flattens your artwork onto a backing board. The process is primarily aesthetic removing small wrinkles and creases as well as reducing the continual effects of rippling. The process is permanent. As your design consultant we can explain the best method suited for your artwork. Heat and pressure and combined using a Dry Mount Press.
Any artwork of value, either monetary or sentimental, should never be dry mounted. This would include original works of art, limited editions, signed or collectible art and artwork susceptible to melting or containing an oil-based product should not be dry mounted. This includes wax, pastel or charcoal based art.
