As artists, we tend to be more concerned than the average consumer with the effect of our habits and purchasing choices on the environment. The earth, the waters, the skies and the stars are endlessly inspiring so of course when given the choice, we err on the side of conservation. It’s the little things we do on a daily basis that add up over the course of our lives to make a difference in the ecological footprint we leave behind. So, let me share some tips and hints for eco-friendly framing.

This month we celebrate the gallery framing aesthetic.
By definition, gallery framing is the simplest, most sophisticated answer to the question of  “how to frame a picture.” The very idea of gallery framing is derived from the historic guidelines fine art galleries worldwide have used for entry into their spaces: a simple frame, a single high-quality mat board, plexiglas or acrylic glazing, and usually a structured, quality backing. These standards protect the art and allow the gallery to create a unified, cohesive exhibit from varied work.
