Expert Design Advice

You might expect to be overwhelmed by so many choices. Relax! Our experienced framers can quickly hand-pick the options that best complement your artwork and suit your taste and budget. We can usually tell what mats and frames will look best around your art in a few minutes. Sometimes it takes longer and that’s o.k. too, we will pull every sample off the wall if we have to. It is very important to us that you get a product that you are happy with.

We are also excellent at providing solutions for framing the not so frameable art or objects. Our creative and innovative team always comes up with a plan.

Custom Mirrors

2015-02-26T14:13:57-08:00

Mirrors are a decorator’s secret weapon! If there’s a wall in your home that just needs . . . something, that something is probably a mirror. A mirror instantly transforms a dreary space with new light and depth, while the frame can complement your existing décor or create dramatic contrast. When you buy a custom mirror from FrameWorks, you have complete control over the design process and the assurance that we bring the same exacting attention to quality to creating mirrors as we do to framing art. We make custom mirrors in any size and shape you can imagine.

Commercial Installations

2019-05-13T15:43:24-07:00

Bare walls don’t look any better in your business than they do in your home. Posters, diplomas, even safety reminders make statements about your business. With custom framing you can be sure that statement is professional and up to date. Our business clients include St. Joseph’s Hospital, Western Washington University, The City of Bellingham, The Whatcom Museum, Trillium Corporate Headquarters, The Unity Group and Mt. Baker Ski Area, just to name a few.

When you bring your project to us you can be assured of consistent quality and workmanship – whether you need a few or a few hundred. Of course all of our work is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. And we’re easy to work with – we meet your deadline – every time.

We offer discounts for projects of 10 pieces or more and we understand that our continuing success is made possible by repeat business. And of course, repeat business is made possible by exceeding expectations, something that is simply second nature to us.

So if you need help with a project – large or small – give us a call at (360) 650-1001 and discover why Bellingham Frameworks is #1 in northwest Washington.

Lincoln Center x 100

2019-05-13T15:43:24-07:00

Lincolncenter-2 When New York’s City legendary Lincoln Center wanted to offer gifts of appreciation to their staff, a photograph of the famed landmark by Bellingham-based graphic designer/photographer John Meloy was selected as a lasting memento and 100 12×20”prints were printed by Brett Baunton, owner of ArtScan. Familiar with both the world-class quality of workmanship as well as a well-deserved reputation for meeting deadlines, Baunton recommended Bellingham Frameworks for the epic project. Four weeks and 100 17×25” custom framed prints later, the job was shipped to New York right on schedule and the elegant commemorative framed art was handed out to appreciative staff (including, incidentally, Alan Alda and Alec Baldwin!).

Buff Black Photography

www.buffblackphotography.com

Buff is drawn to apparent opposites – cityscape magic and wilderness grandeur. Here at home, his scenes of Bellingham, the North Cascades, and pastoral Whatcom County have been well received by an eclectic mix of local cafes, businesses, and nonprofits (including Futurewise and Sustainable Connections). On the urban flipside, Buff captures the ‘moods of metropolis’ in his big-city skylines, including Chicago and Washington DC, which are now featured in the postcards, posters and calendars of Impact Photographics, America’s leading postcard publisher.

Bellingham Frameworks is top drawer, no dust. Owner Paul Hemminger and his crew have helped me meet some tough crunch deadlines, all with good humor and wit. His rendering of my big images onto canvas has been exceptional, creating vibrant and impactful photos ready for show. In a recent interchange with Paul, we chuckled about how he is not yet a god – but he is a superhero.

Buethorn Watercolor Studio

Watercolor artist Candace N. Buethorn paints from life or her own sketches from life, never from photographs. Her landscapes capture the moment and atmosphere in her gestural, signature style. “Watercolor continues to surprise me”, says Buethorn. “I love to pretend to have some control over this juicy medium, all the while knowing I’m on the edge of chaos.”

I have worked with Bellingham Frameworks for years and am always impressed with their creativity and quality of work. They are quick and take the utmost care in framing my work so that I am able to proudly display it in my new gallery or other locations around the region.

John D’Onofrio’s photography explores the forms, textures and colors of the natural world. Trained as a painter, his work has been widely exhibited and has appeared in calendars and magazines, been utilized in the film and television industry and by North Cascades National Park and the U.S. Forest Service.

I’ve used Bellingham Frameworks exclusively for many years. They immediately understood the aesthetic that I was after and have done an impeccable job of presenting my work. I have depended on them time and time again to meet deadlines and they’ve never let me down. And they’re great folks!

Clifford Creations

Capturing moments of grace through my art is my life’s work. Rich luminous layers of color create dreamy, mysterious or whimsical landscapes. I am a multi-media artist. I use paint as my primary medium but I use whatever medium that best tells the story –film, illustration, sculpture and writing.

I love working with Bellingham Frameworks. I take all my framing needs to them. They are fast, high quality and work within my budget. When I have framing challenges, they help me solve my problems. And they are a whole lot of fun, a pleasure to work with!

Lisa captures the sweeping landscapes of the American west with a focus on the places she loves best: the Palouse, coulees, eroded hills and roads of Eastern Washington and the lakes and rivers of Western Washington. Her deeply layered luminous oil paintings capture a profound love of the wide-open land.

One of her paintings, The Sun Sets on the Slope of the Horse Heaven Hills, was recently selected for the Art in Embassies program and will be on exhibit in the American Embassy in Yemen for the next several years. You can see her work at the Roby/King Gallery in Bainbridge and the Smith and Vallee Gallery in Edison.

I refer local clients to Bellingham Frameworks and I’ve been really pleased with the results. They come away with high quality framing that makes my art shine.

Raw gestural works on canvas, linen, and paper. I try to convey as much meaning with as few brush strokes as possible, and most of my work is built around strong concepts.

Frameworks knows how to make my work look it’s best. Paul has a great eye for quality and style.
