It's not uncommon that his first inspiration is the best fit. In addition to his excellent eye & listening skills, he's done a fabulous job on various needlework projects including (who KNEW?) cutting a heart-shaped mat for my most recent piece. If you're a needleworker, know you can trust Will with your stitching! There's a vast array of choices in his shop, and the resulting beautiful & durable framed art is well worth the investment.

I would really suggest anyone looking to add beauty to their home or office at least stop by Art Post (or visit their website) because what they offer is a wonderful alternative to the outrageous prices and narrow vision of many of the other Chicago area art galleries. Chris and Michael are not at all pushy and genuinely want you to love what you purchase. Every room in my home feels bright and cheerful and makes me smile, largely because of what I've taken home from Art Post in the past two years.

I've been to one gallery after another looking for the perfect painting for my family room. I'm…read morebummed that the hunt for a painting took me so long to visit Art Post Gallery because they have gorgeous work. I spent a lot of time examining the artwork on their website ahead of time and love how they let you search by style, size and other options that makes the art buying process a little easier. I had admired a few paintings on their site, but of course nothing beats seeing something in person. And the same paintings I liked on the site were even better in person. I liked one, Uplifting Light, so much that I asked Chris if she could photoshop it into the room I've been looking for. She said an even better option was to take it home for the weekend. She was also super helpful on what frames would work best and I loved that they could frame the painting right in their store - and she said they could hang it too! I filled out some information, gave her my credit card # and I loaded up my SUV. Turns out SUVs are good for something besides carpooling children around.. Once home I was so excited to see the painting in my family room since I was certain this was the "one." I'm so glad Chris let me try it out because while I loved the painting on it's own it just didn't work in the room- the size was wrong, the colors clashed with the colors in my room, etc. And so a few days later I sadly brought it back and handed it to Michael who was very understanding about the situation. I actually did find another painting at a different gallery over the weekend that I believe is the "one" after trying it out in the room, but I will definitely be back to Art Post Gallery when ready to find art for other rooms in my house.

I usually don't have so many framing needs, but in the past month have brought them 4 paintings to frame thanks to a kitchen remodel followed by a basement flood. Each time I've visited I've been the only person there and they've been super helpful in choosing a frame that works with my budget and color scheme. It takes about 2 weeks for them to frame something so I was a little worried when I didn't hear from them for a month after dropping off the first painting. I called and they mentioned they had a typo in my phone # and had trying to be in touch. The framing is beautiful and I think fairly priced. Between their helpfulness and the convenience of being a few minute drive from my house I can't imagine going elsewhere for my framing needs.

When I was a kid living in New Mexico, my mom bought a piece of art from a man in Old Town…read moreAlbuquerque. I remember her buying it with such pride and then taking it to get framed- it was the first time I realized people valued art in that way. She kept it all these years, and just three years ago it came to me. Recently I brought it to The Custom Framer in Highland Park to be re-matted and reframed. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable asking questions, even with my lack of design knowledge. The process was thoughtful, supportive, and deeply meaningful. This isn't just about framing art--it's about framing memories. I'll treasure this piece in my home and someday pass it to my kids. Highly recommend.

The piece they were framing was an original calligraphy artwork. Debb sent me photos of how it might be framed, suggesting a stunning double-matte of a gold inner matte with a burgundy top matte in an antiqued gold carved frame.

Debb and her team made me feel as I was their most valued customer. A thousand, thousand thanks! Mary Delaney

I searched all over the North Shore, Chicago and even Sun Valley, Idaho for the perfect painting for my family room. And finally I found it here. It was perfect and also priced fairly. Unlike other gallery owners Michael wasn't willing to negotiate at all on price, but he did hang it for me. Months later I purchased 4 paintings from a local artist and stopped back in to get 3 of them framed by Michael. He took about 2 weeks to frame them and did a beautiful job...and once again hung them and another painting for me. I love supporting local and Michael is a lovely man with gorgeous artwork and impeccable framing/hanging skills so look forward to being a longtime customer.
