With other projects in mind the owner sold the business to Mark Hopkinson who wishes to continue delivering the best quality framed arts to existing and new customers. Mark has a background in retail along with other artistic talents and brings his expertise to the business.All framed treasures are boxed and have a narrative on the back, complete with hooks to hang immediately!
