“The frame announces that between the part of reality that was cut away and this part, there is a difference.”
-Rosalind E. Krauss
Let’s find the perfect frame for your art! I have tailored my art print sizes to fit standard frames available at Michaels, Target, and your favorite online shops. For the best preservation and presentation, I highly recommend you consult a local framer. They are professionals who can help your artwork last longer. Below are my favorite framers in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. I do not recommend Michaels or Joann’s for framing.
My Take on Framing
Framing Prints on Paper
I have selected my favorite FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified frames below. An FSC certification ensures that products come from forests that are being managed to preserve biological diversity and benefit the lives of local people and workers while ensuring it sustains economic viability.

Framing Unstretched Canvas/Linen Paintings
I recommend hanging my raw linen and canvas paintings in a wooden hanger frame or framing them in a 11x14 or 12x16-inch float frame. West Elm sometimes has metal float frames close to 11x14 inches. Happy framing!

Framing My Small Wood Panels
My paintings on 8-inch square, 8x10-inch, 9x12-inch, and 12-inch square wooden panels are 0.75 inches deep. They fit perfectly into these thin 7/8”-deep wooden Ampersand Floater Frames at DickBlick.com.
