At first I wanted the mat to be the same size around all edges, but Ron expressed his concern for cutting off the artwork. After I looked around the shop a little, I agreed that a mat cut with the tops and bottoms not being the same size as the sides would be fine. He crunched some numbers and gave me a receipt for the smaller one, and an estimate for the larger one if he had to grab a new mat for it. One of the frames I had brought in came with a precut mat for some previous artwork in the frame. To cut down on costs, he offered to cut the mat to fit first. That didn't work, mostly because the cuts were too tight, and the previous artwork had some sticky tape left around the borders. Ron called to make sure I was okay with him moving ahead with cutting another mat for it. When I came in to pick them up, not only had he repositioned the mounting hardware on the smaller one so it would hang in portrait orientation, but he had also finished the back side of the bigger one, complete with protective paper and hanging wire. He also helped carry the bigger one out to my trunk on a rainy day. Overall, really satisfied, highly recommend, and I'm glad I didn't go to Michael's instead haha.

What really stood out was how carefully he listened to what I wanted--he didn't rush the process or push any options, but instead took the time to truly understand my vision. His expertise was clear right away. He offered thoughtful suggestions that matched both the artwork and the space I was framing it for. The final result? Absolute perfection. The quality of the framing was top-notch, and you could tell he puts real care and craftsmanship into his work. If you're looking for someone who combines skill, attention to detail, and genuine customer service, Ron is your guy. Highly recommend!

A Nice Surprise To Run Into Art!…read more SITREP We were just walking out of The Jungle Bird when we noticed 2 doors down there was a crowd forming inside this space we've always seen empty before. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ground-swell-sacramento?select=LqpYFO6lYE6RkMAGUF4j5Q Wa-la! So begins the journey of Groundswell Gallery! THE SETUP There was some incredibly beautiful art on the wall to enjoy.

The Gallery's selections are vibrant renditions of things you will instantly recognize. In short, it is the stuff most people would hang on their walls. I really appreciate orignal art, but let's be honest -- most of us can't afford the original. Smith's offers originals plus a seletion of reproductions that look damn close to the original, mounted just like the original, at affordable prices. So you too can have a four-set panorama of Napa Valley vineyards or California oaks. When people say, "I don't know art, but I know what I like", they are probably thinking of what is hanging in Smith's. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something special to put on the wall behind your couch.

Big mistake she was basically chewed out and given major attitude about it not being his responsibility to provide proof to art students & their professors that they visited his gallery.

All I can say is you never know when one of these students may want to come back & buy one of your pieces or better yet what if they became a known artist? If that was me I know for a fact I wouldn't ever want to sell my artwork there!

Always a fan of the small-business touch, I e-mailed them and was thrilled I could connect with them almost immediately. Jennifer worked with my piece finding me three different matting colors that were fantastic in their overstock bin at a fraction of what might have been the cost, and a stick of wood to build the frame that had color in it that picked up on the art itself. In addition to the fantastic customer service which included 2-day turnaround and beautiful work, they were just super nice people with which to do business. I'd highly recommend Skyline and will certainly be using them in the future.
