Martin did an excellent job and they all look even better than I had hoped. Compared to a lot of custom framers I've used the pricing was really good as well. I recommend making an appointment if you work with them so that they have a designated time to look at your pieces and determine frame options, etc. In 20 minutes I was able to pick frames, get feedback on mattes, etc.

These got framed in April-May 2022 by Carpinteria Frame & Art. They look beautiful, in situ, in my living room. The frames themselves turned out perfectly. The Himalaya landscapes used silver edging, ultimately going well with an aluminum-mounted picture I took. The blaze orange Mandala has a traditional gold frame, going well with furniture located nearby. Thx! It was nice to close the loop with a local artisan -- on a project like this.

I was surprised to read about Edmund R's unsatisfying experience (below), but based on my own, including my observation of other customers' in the shop when I was there, I am sure that his is extremely atypical, and perhaps there is another side to the story.
