As an artist, you’re often simultaneously a visionary, a promoter, a marketer, a social media influencer, a traveler, a dreamer, and so much more. It may be time to add “custom framer” to your long list of titles.
With so many paper styles and finishes available for your prints, it can be hard to know which option will help achieve the look you’re envisioning. At American Frame, we help make the decision easier by offering only the highest-quality, industry-leading brands and products.
Mounting board plays a vital role in supporting and enhancing the overall appearance and longevity of your framed pieces.

Artists who work with pastels and charcoals understand the unique and captivating qualities of these mediums. From the soft and velvety textures of pastels to the rich tonal range achievable with charcoals, these materials offer distinct aesthetics for wonderfully expressive, beautiful works of art. Presenting these “dry” media comes with challenges, however, and doing so necessitates careful consideration of matting and framing elements.
