How important is framing and matting?

Your frame is not just a way to hang your art on a wall!  Your frame. . .

• completes your artwork!  Without a frame, your artwork "floats" and appears unfinished   Like a sentence without a period.

• enhances your artwork!  Matting places the artwork inside the frame, and can either bring out the colors in the artwork or coordinate with your home décor.

• protects your artwork!  Especially if glass is involved, conservation glass can protect photos and watercolors from fading.
