The Art of Framing | Sydney Professional Framing Service

The earliest examples of picture framing date from ancient Egypt. In the Middle Ages (quite a bit later) elaborate ornamental frames decorated religious devotional images. As art became more democratised in the Renaissance and post-Renaissance periods, and artworks found their way slowly into private residences, framing became a craft that was aligned to furniture making and decor.

Today the art of framing is thriving, and it's not just painting, but photograhy that is benefiting.

A beautifully framed professional photo is a tasteful and modern addition to a home. As well, frames protect the artwork, keep it clean.

Its nice to see photos on an ipad or a laptop or a digital frame, sure - but I would argue, not as amazing as a beautifully printed and framed photo on a wall, adding the mood and feel of a room.

twoguineapigs partners with Boronia Park Framing Studio. We like Peter Kenny because of the quality of his work and his frames, plus Peter’s no-nonsense approach.

Peter also frames all of my Award winning prints for this year’s AIPP APPA and Epson PPY Awards. Pretty big responsibility to help me present my artwork.

Meet my Bug - or at least the back of Bug's head. This great car is one of the most important employees of my business - and not just as a funky mobile advertisement. Bug gets me to pets - and pet shoots - all over town and beyond (like, to the Central Coast and Canberra!).

She's one reliable vintage VW Beetle.

If you ever catch me driving past drop me a comment or an email letting me know the date, time and where you saw me (street name and suburb) - I'll give you a shoot for fun! (within 30km from Sydney CBD; photos and other promotions excluded; ends 15 October 2012).
