frames
Now that you’ve got your art, it’s time for the hard part. Finding an affordable frame. :)
Don’t worry, I’ve got your back. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ready-made frames, AND I’ve partnered with two local woodworkers to bring you the option of purchasing a canvas float frame to go along with your stretched canvas prints.
Scroll on down for all the info and even a few framing tutorials.
canvas float frames
If you purchase a commission or an original painting on stretched canvas, it will include a wood float frame. They are gorgeous and truly elevate the artwork! I’ve partnered with two local woodworkers to make these frames available to purchase alongside your stretched canvas prints.
canvas float frame options
The maple and walnut frames are made by hand in Bend, OR by Jesse Havens. Please allow ~3 weeks from the time of your order for the frame to be completed.
The premium frames with the brass splines are made by hand in Bend, OR by Aaron Johnson of JFAWoodworks. Please allow ~4 weeks from the time of your order for the frame to be completed.
Please note: the canvas float frames only work with STRETCHED canvas prints. Unstretched canvas prints are flat (like paper) and can be framed just like you would a paper print.

how do I order a canvas float frame?
In full transparency, I don’t have the bandwidth to become a frame shop. So at this time, the canvas float frames are only available to purchase to accompany my artwork (i.e. they will not be sold separately). I’ll assemble the print with your frame before delivery or local pickup. You may also purchase a float frame for a stretched canvas print that you’ve purchased from me in the past.
To order, please fill out the form to the right and I’ll be in touch with more details and a final invoice with shipping costs (if applicable).
ready-made frames
I feel passionately that my art be both beautiful and accessible, which is why all of my prints are standard sizes. You should be able to pop any of my paper or unstretched canvas prints into a ready-made frame and be on your way. I’ve collected some of my favorites via LTK, Amazon, or you can shop by clicking any of the links below. :)
wait…how am I supposed to frame an unstretched canvas print?
Unstretched canvas prints are my newest addition to the print shop! They’re a lot like my paper prints (flat!), but instead of paper, they’re printed on canvas. The benefit is that the canvas doesn’t need to be protected by glass, so you can frame your unstretched canvas prints without the glass and avoid that pesky glare. I highly recommend these gorgeous frames by Alibi Interiors.
So how do you do it? Essentially, just the same way you would a paper print. If your frame has a mat, simply tape your unstretched canvas print to the back of the mat (preferably using acid-free tape), and reassemble the frame without the glass.
If your frame does not have a mat, adhere the print directly to the frame backer with some acid-free double-sided tape. Then reassemble the frame without the glass. I filmed a quick tutorial on instagram, if you’d like to have a look! :)
If you want to go the more professional route, you can take the print to a local frame shop and have them mount the print to a board, which could then be popped into your frame.
custom framing
While custom framing isn’t necessary, it’s always a great way to elevate your artwork. If you’re local to Bend, I highly recommend High Desert Frameworks. In Portland, I love I’ve Been Framed. And no matter where you live, I always love to recommend Framebridge.com or FrameItEasy.com.
