Testimonials:

Petra, I really appreciate all of your help with my framing and am very grateful for your excellent suggestions! You went that extra mile to make sure the job was done top-notch and the result was nothing short of perfect!

– Anne

Petra Hewson has been doing our framing for over ten years. Her extensive selection of frames and matting, and ability to choose the best colour, texture and style to enhance a painting or photograph are exceptional. We are always so pleased with the finished result. Even though we live in Oakville…we would not go anywhere else.
