Matt Painter

Owner & Frame Designer

I'm Matt Painter. Following in the tradition of my parents, Stan and Pat, since 1978, my passion and focus at The Painters Place continues to be the design and execution of finely crafted picture frames. I am personally involved with every project.

 

Our master craftspeople set us apart because we understand and execute the highest level of picture frame design and craft that can be found. Please let us demonstrate how we might apply this expertise for your special project.
