Of the over 30 years I have been in framing, it amazes me how framers treat, mount and frame art and artifacts for people who patronize them.  On a weekly basis, it's not unusual for someone to contact me through email or phone informing me of a recently framed item which shows signs of deterioration.

As a child, history always fascinated me.  Studying Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations and through modern American history held a special place in my heart.  Knowing how our ancestors lived made me think and take in what they endured throughout history.
