Fresh Faces...

Scottsdale Living Magazine introduces us to four new interior designers to the Scottsdale area.  The articles title pretty much sums it up nicely. ‘Fresh Faces for Eclectic Spaces,’ simple enough, right?  Well, after reading the article, the author accentuates the fact that “these designers may have varying styles, but all have one thing in common – their passion for design!”  After a brief introduction, the article is basically a Q&A discussion with an epilogue leading to the magazines website for each designers complete responses.  We’ve decided to give our own Scottsdale welcome to these ‘fresh faces’ by designing our own layouts for these new additions to the Scottsdale community. One of the more inspiring portions of our profession has to be the new and creative perspectives provided by our newest constituents in the design domain. Congratulations on your new career path ladies. We look forward to seeing you in our gallery!

Prestigious Documents…


Certificates of accreditation are essential assets for those of noble achievements.  Displaying these distinguished documents as a symbol of your accomplishments are a healthy reminder to you and those in your sphere of influence. After years of hard work, sometimes decades, a diploma signifies the trials and tribulations you’ve overcome to obtain your success! In certain fields of profession, such as the medical occupation, proudly exhibiting your certifications elucidates any concerns a client may have. A newly graduated client came to Art and Framing Designs to traditionally frame her prestigious documents. With a conservative frame and customary parchment mat, this design is intended to classically objectify the walls of her medical practice. This type of framing is a perfect way to embody your success and exemplify your designations.

Bubeck Giclée Project...


Recently we’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with Mrs. Nadine Bubeck. You may have seen Nadine weekday mornings as the traffic anchor on our local Arizona CBS station. You can also find her marvelous articles and reviews of everything life, love, food and travel at www.nadineonthescene.com.  Nadine and Nate Bubeck were married not long ago and photographer extraordinaire Tracy Kreck of Photographic Passion was there to capture every memorable moment of this exquisite occasion. You can find Tracy and her first class photography at www.photopassion.us.  Naturally, the newlywed Nadine Bubeck was in the market for fine art canvas reproductions of her wedding images. Eager to get this project moving forward, Mrs. Bubeck contacted Art and Framing Designs to ensure her vision would be meticulously brought to fruition. Mrs. Bubeck has a keen eye for detail and with her counsel we were able to materialize both a product she and her husband could proudly display in their home as well as a keepsake for both to treasure for a lifetime together. We look forward to working with Nadine and Nate Bubeck on future projects and we are honored they chose Art and Framing Designs as a creative outlet. We thank you both and congratulations!

History Preservation...


This is a fine example of an 18th Century black powder bag and powder horn from a clients’ private collection. This collector has the entire setup including the horn, black powder bag and folding flint striker. All of which are in exceptional condition considering its age and provenance. In order to preserve this piece of American history, our client turned to us at Art and Framing Designs to safeguard this Americana! We were able to fulfill our clients’ archival needs whilst also accommodating the design parameters. It’s always rewarding to preserve history and memories for generations to come. Thank you for the opportunity in doing so,  it’s truly our honor!
