After many failed DIY framing attempts, I finally brought two of the large litho prints I have in to akau to let the pros deal with it. I'm very happy with the results.

She had some great suggestions for framing and matting and both prints look great.

I recently purchased a number of pieces from Petroff Gallery entirely on-line. The artwork was…read moreincredible, the web site and assistance was excellent, and the shipping all worked out to get the art to me in perfect condition. Petroff has assembled as very strong group of artists with a wide range of art styles and at reasonable prices that cut out the ludicrous degree of uncertainty and haggling that most other galleries insist on building into their business. Some of their artists are well established (I've followed the work of Rachel Ovadia for years, probably decades) and some are up-and-coming but very talented. I highly recommend checking them out on-line if not in person. With Covid making in-person experiences a bit fraught, Petroff has hit upon a winning strategy of connecting artists with collectors and designers via the web. For me, Covid has increased the importance of making your home a place of beauty and comfort -- and art does that. So now is a good time to buy art and support the art community as well!

You walk in and there's beautiful paintings hanging everywhere or leaning in a pile against the wall. You're free to sort through them yourself. It's inside the G.H. Johnson's, all the way in the south-east corner. I found myself browsing art instead of furniture on my first visit. Even though I stepped into the building with the intention to buy furniture, it was Canvas that won me as a customer, not .G.H. This is where I fell in love with Steven Nederveen's works. At the time I was a poor student but they let me take the painting I loved home to try it out. It worked beautifully with my decor and style but in the end practicality prevailed and I returned the painting without purchasing it. Almost two years passed and I stopped in again to look at furniture but found myself back looking at the Steven Nederveen's. Low and behold, they still have the painting I loved and it was meant to be. I bought it as Christmas present to myself and an investment in art. The staff were great, marvelling at how this piece from his first set of works was passed over for so long and that it finally found it's home with me. I can't give a better recommendation to any gallery in the city.

!!!!! BEWARE !!!!…read more DON'T BUY ANYTHING HERE !!! If I could rate this shop - a MINUS 10 - I would. About four weeks ago I brought a very precious painting my mother made to the shop to be framed, I kick myself everyday since that I did not look on yelp beforehand to see what the review was. Me of all people are Yelper who didn't look at Yelp shame on me..... When I walked in the shop and brought in the painting I knew in my head I wanted a copper frame. I've maybe framed 3 pieces of art in my life so I don't have a lot of experience in this area and I really did rely on the owner and her professional opinion to assist me. After about 15 minutes and no copper frame sample in site, I kept repeating myself to her that I wanted copper - finally she picked the copper piece and she added that we should put another frame inside of it which I knew was going to look kind of weird but I thought I should go with her professional opinion. The worst part about choosing the frame with her was her friend was there or partner and he was butting in the conversation and it really bothered me that he kept butting in and he had a coffee in his hand near the painting was very unprofessional. We spent at least 10 minutes choosing the frame. It was a very confusing process over a VERY messy work counter. After the bill was written up I mentioned the sign that said the spaces for lease it should've been my first indication, and she said they been there for many years and that they're moving - I had to think positive after all she already had my $200 for a picture that I might add is only 18" x 26" ridiculous amount of money I know! I was told to come back in two weeks which I did"....... I walked in the store and there was a guy behind the counter (now the counter was full of food and very messy) there was another guy on the other side of the counter I stood back and waited - The shopkeeper said it's okay it's my friend, can I help you with? What is this shop bring your friend to work every day?? I showed my receipt, "what the picture was of" he said - I said "a painting of Hawaii" - the friend then jumped in and asked too many questions; have you been to Hawaii? where was I there? who did the picture?, it got to the point that I actually turned to them and said look do you mind I'm trying to pick up my picture - he was very very rude. The shopkeeper (while holding his coffee) made he way through an obstacle course to find the picture where artwork was leaning up against every single flat surface in the shop. He brought the framed art over to the counter I looked at it saw the copper frame and then saw the inside frame was beige and that it was all dirty - I pointed that out to him and he didn't seem to care so you need to tell the owner as that's not what I ordered what I ordered, I said . I ordered white. Looking at the picture I hated it , I hated the copper I hated the white it looks cheap - the back paper was craft paper glued on and cut uneven, the hardware was terrible on the back the whole thing was a disaster! A week later I got a call from the owner who said on my voicemail "your paintings ready come pick it up" (Great customer service so far isn't it?) Yesterday I walked in the filthy dirty unorganized crummy shop to pick up my very precious painting and the owner again had to make her way through an obstacle course of paintings to get it brought it to the counter and they had not changed the beige interior frame! But by this point I was rather upset and she argued with me for a solid five minutes about it I finally said you know what I'm going to go somewhere else to get it framed properly - this is really a bad job - you did a terrible job framing this, wrap it up so I can leave your shop. As I was leaving, a customer was entering, I turned the customer and said "you know what, don't buy anything in here, please don't buy anything in here" I'm sure I look like lunatic, but it had to be said. Don't buy anything in this store is terrible! the owner, the staff and their friends they bring to work are so unprofessional they should be ashamed to call this shop a gallery ! I wish I had not gone in to another the store with a great Yelp review up the street ! In fact I will to have this great picture reframed.

They claimed they do stretching all of the time and even recommended the size it should be. When I received the art, you could see the wood through the fabric and it did not look good. When I called to explain my problem they told me that they knew about the issue but was hoping that the wall would hide the wood? Meaning, they knew they didn't do a good job and hoped I wouldn't notice. They said they would figure out how to fix it and call me back. They didn't call so I called again. Same thing. Eventually I gave up and my decorator told me she could fix it easily and did it properly. In summary, do not come here to get fabric stretched!
