Paintings are available framed in cherry, oak, maple, or black walnut.  Made by my husband, Steve Bower, the frames are shaped and stained to enhance each individual work.  We have three standardized frame styles, as shown below, but it is also possible to collaborate with Steve to create a style of your own design.

PRAIRIE CONTEMPORARY STYLE

This is a plain 2.5-inch or 3-inch frame with no embellishment.  Painting floats inside the frame with gap between the board or canvas and the frame.

ARTS AND CRAFTS STYLE

This is similar to the Prairie Contemporary style, but with a 1/4-inch raised lip on the outside edge.

GALLERY STYLE

This is a framing style used for larger paintings.  It is a half-inch to one-inch strip of wood that floats around the painting.  Often the wood is routered.  Space between the painting and the frame is always painted black.
