Here at Houston’s Custom Framing & Fine Art, we regard picture framing as not just a craft, but an art. Our goal is to enhance the essential beauty of whatever is being framed and to uphold conservation standards to ensure the longevity of the piece. We enjoy being creative with what we do, and at the same time know how to use restraint to keep the framing from overwhelming the artwork.

From the smallest, simplest child’s drawing to works by the Masters, family photographs, heirloom treasures, needlework, or Aunt Martha’s spoon collection, we give every piece our fullest attention. With over 1000 mouldings to choose from, our selections range from natural woods to 23k gold - contemporary to period reproductions, and everything in between. We can customize a finish if the need arises, and occasionally create a moulding of our own design for a specific piece.

If you’re coming to Ashland for a visit, please don’t hesitate to bring your framing projects with you – or ship them ahead, and design them while you’re here. And if you’d like to work with us, but aren’t planning a trip to Ashland, we can work on designs via email and digital photography. We are always open to expanding the possibilities of what can be done!
