Frig art?

The other day a grandmother walked in, beaming from one ear to the other, with art her grandson had composed. She told me about how proud she was of him. She talked a little about his personality and I could see how that came out in his art. She thought carefully about colors and framing; she wanted it to reflect his personality.

As a grandparent myself, I get excited when clients come in with art that kids have painted, drawn, pasted … . It is my favorite type of art to frame. Usually there is such color variety mixed with energy & whimsy; it has an uninhibited flare to it.

At times the ‘artist’ themselves come in to pick up the framed piece, and you can tell it means a lot to them, they try to hold back that smile that they want to beam from ear to ear.

I see every time that by framing the child’s art, it shows the artist how proud you are; that you care and that their effort is worthy of hanging in your home or office. What a great way to encourage a child!


Isn't this a great piece?
