Every week at Remnant Framing feels like a new chapter in an unfolding story—one shaped by creativity, collaboration, and the passion to elevate art. This week, as we gear up for our upcoming gallery reception on January 25th, I’ve been reflecting on how the smallest details can make the biggest impact.

The Art of Custom Picture Framing

Custom picture framing isn’t just about enclosing art; it’s about creating harmony between the piece and its presentation. Whether it’s designing frames for Yuri Ozaki’s ethereal candlelight pieces or crafting the perfect fit for a signed Tool poster, every project challenges us to think deeply about how the frame can amplify the story within the art. This week, the shop has been buzzing with activity as we put finalize designs on projects for the gallery—each frame as unique as the artist behind the work.

Gearing Up for the Gallery Reception

The upcoming reception feels like a culmination of everything we’ve been working toward. Featuring the works of Elizabet Castro, Yuri Ozaki, and Matt Bender, the event promises to be a celebration of diverse artistry. The curation process has been a rewarding challenge, ensuring that every piece finds its perfect place in the gallery while reflecting the spirit of each artist.

Events like these remind me of why I started Remnant Framing in the first place: to create a space where art, community, and craftsmanship intersect. It’s not just about the frames or the art on the walls; it’s about the stories we tell and the connections we

make.

Moments of Growth

This week also brought moments of introspection. As I prepared for a networking event, I realized how far I’ve come in feeling comfortable sharing the vision for Remnant Framing. Conversations with new contacts remind me that expanding the business isn’t just about strategy—it’s about relationships and trust.

Meanwhile, back in the studio, the daily rhythm of cutting, joining, and designing frames has its own quiet satisfaction. The work isn’t always glamorous, but it’s always rewarding. There’s a sense of pride in seeing a finished piece and knowing it’s ready to find its place in someone’s home, office, or gallery.

Looking Ahead

As January unfolds, there’s so much to look forward to. From the gallery reception to collaborations with local artists and businesses, the momentum is building. I’m particularly excited about working with floral designer Anna Lee form Old Frond and painter Bri Zierman-Felix to bring a unique Valentine’s Day market to life. It’s another opportunity to connect with Huntsville’s creative community and showcase the power of collaboration.

At Remnant Framing, the story is never just about us. It’s about the artists, the clients, and the community that make every frame more meaningful. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll stop by the shop or join us for an event. Let’s keep creating something special together.
