Saper Galleries and Custom Framing

Ted drove 800 miles to Saper Galleries to have us frame his 3 paintings with our floating design that lifts the art from the backing so it looks suspended in the deep frames. Another 800 miles to drive them back to Virginia! Amazing presentations for Ted's future art exhibitions!

Alison's parents asked us to have a painting created celebrating the events and memories leading up to Alison and Zack's recent marriage! Here is the painting by Canadian artist Eric Waugh titled "Love Story" that Alison's parents just presented as a surprise to the couple!

Delighted to have just float-framed this aboriginal dot painting that Andrew bought us from his trip to Australia. The layered painting depicts ancestral connections and the patterns they make on one's life -- and seasonal land patterns from dry cracked earth to sink holes. We make art collectors happy!

When Michigan State University's award-winning Impact 89FM - WDBM hosts a concert, we're honored to frame items from the concert. Here Will Misterovich, host of The Progressive Torch & Twang, and Delaney Rogers, station manager, show off the framed 2024 Waka Flocka Flame concert poster and ticket!

"Whispering" is the title of this etching we just framed and you can view in our east gallery. Rembrandt-like etched lines and quality by China-born artist Joseph Wong (now in Canada). A master of the etching medium! Exquisite!

Jeanne and Don just picked up this Eric Waugh painting that was specially commissioned and painted for them. Title is "Martini for One"! We created a solo Eric Waugh exhibition here 31 years ago when Canadian artist was 30 years old. https://sapergalleries.com/Waugh.html Joy!

Delighted to have just framed these two abstract paintings in maple floater frames for Justin. What's remarkable, though, is the story about Justin's friend, the artist Charlie French. Maybe you can take a moment to research Charlie to learn about his beautiful story.

Claire brought us this inherited wall hanging with badly stained backing linen. We made it look like new! What restoration project may we do for you?!

Since the mid-1800s this painting has accumulated grime, paint has flaked away, the canvas rippled, and the whites yellowed. We successfully brought back the original colors and detail after restoration shown in the photo on the right. Have a painting we can restore for you?!

The most impressive art and beauty are often found by looking out your front door.
