As sole proprietor, I guess what I like most
about the business is the custom framing . . . .
I'll frame anything! All product is of archival quality.
I do everything on-site and entirely by hand.
There's just something about workin' with a hammer
and nails. I like to do things the old-fashioned
way. My most memorable times growing up were spent
working with my father and brother learning how
to roof, paint, and do just about anything else!!
We got the job done and also had a lot of laughs!!

Men . . . men . . . men . . . I'm especially
excited to announce the representation of four male artists.
Baxter Losano's
artwork comes alive through his exceptional use of color while transcending one
back to his native homeland in the Hawaiian Islands.
Craig Witthaus' sailing
experiences show through his authentic design of the boats and "set" of the sails
in his large canvas oils. While
Alex Peters,
a junior artist, captures your soul
with his portraits. MetalWorks by
Kelly Ludeking are both RAW and BOLD!
His skills can be scene first-hand, as he hosts the Iron Pour in White Bear Lake each year.
Ya' just have to see his stuff!!
My criterium . . . I have to luv the art and the artist!
Photographer Megan Daas,
has come on to the scene through her exploration of the
outdoors, finding beauty in everyday objects. Hand-blown glass and metal works
by Bonnie Hinz will captivate you. Her combination of glass and metal create
harmony between the fragile and organic versus the strong and industrial.

In addition, Uptown Images has a
wide selection of colorful moldings to choose from. It's a partnership
between myself and the customer. We can always come up with a creative
way to display the artwork.
