After spending most of her life in Chicago suburbia, Kayleigh left for the greener bluegrass pastures of Louisville, Kentucky. There, she learned to appreciate the mint julep and made it 7/8ths of the way to a Masters degree in anthropology.

With six years of framing experience under her belt, Kayleigh sees the custom framing process as a real life extension of her studies of art and people. She loves seeing all the eclectic art and objects that pass through our doors and getting to know the human stories behind them.

When not framing, you can find her making handmade books or talking with her two puppies, one cat, and her Nanday Conure.

Indiana-born but a Chicagoan at heart, Rick’s background as an illustrator for educational publishing gives him a unique eye – particularly on art that appeals to younger kids. In addition to Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny drawings, Rick is also a collector of vintage photos and autographs from Hollywood’s Golden Age (framed of course), which pairs well with his other hobby of watching film noir like The Maltese Falcon and Double Indemnity.

In more modern cinema, one of Rick’s favorite framing projects entailed a HUGE Jolly Roger flag that was actually used in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

An avid traveler, Krissy has been all over the world from Germany and Italy to Japan and her all-time favorite place – Saint Remy de Provence in France. Closer to home, you can find her reading, at concerts with friends or at her preferred spot in the city – The Art Institute of Chicago.

With a BFA in photography from Columbia College Chicago, photography is of course a favorite to frame (she’s particularly fond of 19th century photography), but also has a soft spot for fine art prints. A framing highlight? Finding the perfect frame for a set of lithographs by Yoshitomo Nara, Cosmic Girls: Eyes Open/Eyes Closed.

Michele has been framing for so long that her devoted customers have gone from framing their children's finger paintings to framing their children's college diplomas and wedding photos.

Michele grew up on the northwest side of Chicago and now calls the charming suburb of Glenview home. She studied Interior Architecture at NIU, where she earned her BFA.

When not working, she likes searching for treasure at antiques shops and flea markets. Somehow she can never resist adding "just one more" to her collection of vintage mason jars. She also loves cooking, eating or talking about food.
