The Artists We Frame For
Featured Artists
Painters, printmakers, photographers, and collage artists working around Greater Boston. We handle the mats, the glass, and the mouldings so their work shows the way they intended — and we're glad to send you their way.
Paul Goodnight
Painter · Boston, MA
Paul Goodnight's figurative paintings carry the rhythm of the African diaspora. His work hangs in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Wendi Gray
Painter · Salem, MA
Wendi Gray paints out of Salem, on Boston's North Shore. New pieces go up on Instagram as they come off the easel.
Darrell Smith
White-line woodblock printmaker · Provincetown, MA
Darrell Smith makes white-line woodblock prints — one hand-carved block, every color painted and pulled by hand. It's a Provincetown technique practiced by very few people.
Elsewhere
Laurence Pierce
Artist, photographer & illustrator · Boston, MA
Laurence Pierce makes paintings, drawings and constructions that put his aesthetic and his social concerns in the same frame. He works out of African Winter Studio in Dorchester.
Jameel Radcliffe
Painter · Boston, MA
Jameel Radcliffe paints both ways — portraits in oil on one hand, large abstract canvases on the other. WBUR featured him in its series on Boston makers.
Deborah Ellington
Paper collage artist · Roslindale, Boston, MA
Deborah Ellington makes hand-cut paper collage out of painted book pages, typography and poetry — layered, textural work that rewards a close look.

Framing for Artists
- Do you frame artwork for working artists?
- Yes. We frame for painters, printmakers, photographers, and collage artists across Greater Boston — full gallery shows, commissions, and single pieces. Bring the work in and we'll design the frame around it.
- Can you frame a whole gallery show?
- We do. Bring in the full body of work and we'll spec a consistent moulding, mat, and glazing package across every piece, then build and deliver on your show date.
- What glass should I use on work that's for sale?
- For work heading into a collection, UV-protective or museum glass is worth it — it cuts fading and, in the museum grade, nearly eliminates reflection. We'll walk through the options and prices with the piece in front of us.
- Do you frame original prints and works on paper?
- Yes, with conservation matting and hinging so nothing acidic touches the paper and the work can be removed later without damage. That's how we handle white-line woodblock prints, collage, and original works on paper.
- Where are you located?
- 1741 Centre St, West Roxbury, MA 02132 — free street parking out front and a municipal lot behind the building. Call 617-327-3890.
