Introduction
Hanging art is an art in and of itself. I take the time to understand my clients needs and wants first and then translate their vision to their walls. I have extensive experience hanging art in residential, corporate and gallery environments and accustomed to the intricacies of it. Trained by a team of Interior Designers I view your art as a part of the room as a whole and understand how placement helps define and compliment that space. In addition, by degree I am a fine artist, and illustrator. So aesthetic is just in my nature. Compound this experience with a 30 year tenure in custom picture framing and you're getting the right woman for the job. I am often asked "How do you even hang art?" This is a really good question and I feel it is worth sharing the answer. However, the answer is certainly not as simple as it seems. There are actually multiple considerations but in short the answer would be: It depends. It depends on several factors including but not limited to physical stability and aesthetic beauty. For physical stability one might consider: How big is the art? How heavy is the art? What type of hanging mechanism does the artwork have vs. (and even more importantly) What type of hanging mechanism SHOULD it have? What type of walls will it be hung on? plaster, drywall, brick, cinder block, masonry board? For aesthetic beauty and continuity of interior design one might consider: Where to hang?  What would be around it once its hung?  How high should it be hung? How tall are you? Ah yes, even this is a consideration. These are only a few facets of the art of hanging. For me the most satisfying part of my job is being able to do what I love for a living and seeing the look on my clients faces showing how happy they are with the end product. CANCELLATION /NO SHOW POLICY: sorry guys/gals. My time is important too and my schedule is generally full. If you cancel with less than 24 hour notice or dont show up for our scheduled appointment you will be billed. It is nearly impossible to fill those time slots last minute snd i am therefore without income for those hours. Please be considerate.

They did a WONDERFUL job hanging six pieces of art for us. They clearly know what they are doing. We were worried about the awkward high wall over our stairs, but it was no problem for them at all. I also wasn't quite settled on where I wanted one of our pieces, and I greatly appreciated their feedback. 10/10 would work with them again no question. Jupey is a true pro.

Jupe was truly amazing. We had over 20 art pieces to hang along with a mixtile set-up in our staircase. She did a great job walking us through best practices and left our house looking great. Highly recommend her.

Very pleased with my installation experience. Bev was extremely helpful in locating the perfect place for favorite art pieces from my old home to my new place that I just moved into. She was a genuine pleasure to work with and her placement suggestions elevated the art as well as the space. Highly recommend.

I wish I could also pick punctuality and value but the system only allows me to pick three things but she is all five. She worked around our terrible schedule because she knew it was important to me. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She has a wonderful laugh and she has a wonderful eye she is herself, an artist, so she really got what we were trying to do — which was actually very complicated in a super organic contemporary house with about 50 to 60 paintings and a heavy ceramic sculpture that she bolted with a complicated bolting system into a curved wall. I will never have anyone but her even to hang a single picture she is amazing — hire her she will make your art shine and knows exactly what she’s doing. I give her 100% perfect And I am very picky. :) always have your pictures professionally hung is my advice!
