It was almost like going in a museum of local art. I had a chance to spend some time talking to the owner while there and it was inspired by her late sister who was a gifted artist. She had one piece of art left from her sister on display in the store. The owner is a former occupational therapist who decided to commit to pursuing a dream that will include art lessons and the art of cooking later this year. Less than a year old, this is a gem of a local owned business you must stop in and see if in town.

I have two beautiful parrot prints that were matted and framed at Blue Ridge Framed Art in…read moreMorganton, NC. The print on one of them came loose/unglued from the matting and has slipped down from its centered place. Now, I have to have the backing taken off and have it re-centered.....very much a pain in the neck as well as the wallet. My opinion is that if you are in the framing business, you should do the job so that it will last. These prints are on the wall and never disturbed. There is just no good excuse for why this happened, other than poor job done. Sorry Blue Ridge.
