MH Art & Framing Gallery
9 West 20th St, New York NY 10011
www.mhartandframe.com
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At MH Art & Frame Gallery we believe that good framing is about problem solving. With that in mind, we use our knowledge and expertise to create a frame design that best suits the image and is in balance with the needs of our clients and their décor. However, good framing goes beyond good design.
Photographs, works on paper and paintings on canvas all have individual requirements. As an example, some images require UV glass as opposed to regular glass or PH neutral materials to preserve the current state of the art. These requirements will be explained and explored and ultimately applied to the work of art with the input of both our staff and the client.
From works on paper, canvas paintings, photographs and documents to sentimental items or fleeting decorative whims, MH Art and Framing Gallery wants to find the best balance between function and design.
WHO WE ARE
We are artists. We take our knowledge as artists and combine it with the experiences we have accumulated with galleries, publishers, designers and collectors and apply it to the works that come through MH Art & Framing Gallery. Because of this, we consider ourselves "caretakers" of art.
We are designers. We apply our graphic design and advertising backgrounds for framing design, ensuring that the frame design will still allow you to focus on what you care most about. Your art.
Nick Rosal, the Director of Production for MH Art and Framing Gallery, has been an art handler and installer, Director of Production for a fine art publisher in SoHo, he has also been involved in the arts in one form or another for almost thirty years. As an artist, his work has been exhibited in the tri-state area and sold to collectors on the East and West Coasts. His works are in the corporate collections of Waldorf Astoria, Calvin Klein and Citizen Watch.
Heidi Loder-Rosal, President and CEO of MH Art & Framing Gallery, began her career in photography while still in high school. While pursuing art & design in college, she shifted focus to business managment. Her extensive experience in running a small business keeps the focus on customer service and commitment to quality.
