Frames

The frames I use are made by a local, family-owned business, Victor Gallery. They are made of solid wood, either naturally unfinished or painted white. I like their frames because they are really simple, classic, and of excellent quality.

I can order any size I need. The frames come with glass, I cut the mat backing and mount my work in the frame ready to hang. I've always done this as a way of making my work more affordable and presented ready to hang.

Mats

I cut and prep my own mats using a professional mat cutter. 

I source my acid-free, professional quality mats and supplies from a local, independent company, New Concept Framing. 

I have built relationships with the companies I source from; I’ve been buying my framing supplies from them for over 25 years!

The matted artwork I sell is ready to go into the frame of your choice.

Threads

The threads I use are from companies that are environmentally conscious, and sustainably sourced. 

My main embroidery threads are Madeira. They are of very high quality, lightfast, and come in a huge range of colours which is why I love them so much!
