The popularity of art on canvas or board has opened the door to new adventures in custom framing for the collector. Your limited editions and originals on paper are framed, no doubt, with extensive matwork, glass — and a fairly simple moulding. For works of art on canvas or board, the “rules of framing” are very different.

Seldom do canvas or board works require glazing (a fancy term for glass!).

And although matwork on your paper art looks terrific, its real job is to keep the glass from touching the work that it protects. All your canvas art really needs is a frame! You and your framer can select a moulding or combination of mouldings from a wide variety of choices. Wide and super-wide mouldings that were shunned by your print framing professional often look great on a canvas. In fact, your framer may even recommend multiple frames with (or without) linen or wood liners plus enhancers and fillets (wood accents that look like mini frames) . . . all used on the same canvas.

It’s fun! And it gives the collector a real chance to live it up with the advice and assistance of framing professionals who can make your piece stand out in anyone's collection.
