Art & Framing terms:

Casein paint - Derived from milk, is a fast-drying, water-soluble medium used by artists.

Audrey Pfannmuller - Original Art

 



"Autumn Quilt"
by Audrey Pfannmuller


original oil on canvas

Audrey Pfannmuller was raised in a small rural community in north western Alberta.  Art and design have always been an important means of expression for her.  She began her formal education at Olds College with a fashion certificate, which was followed with a couturier degree under Sig Plach Couturiers of Edmonton.  She then went on to study art at the Extension Branch of the University of Alberta.

Audrey paints to convey her emotions and feelings – expressions of everything around her.  She enjoys working in pastels and oils and shows her love of people by choosing to paint them and their environment.  Audrey Pfannmuller’s artwork can be found in fine galleries.

3. Art and Framing Tips . . .

 

Don't Forget Dad . . .
Great gift ideas for Father’s Day           

  Father’s Day is just around the corner. Custom framing is a special gift that is personal and may also have sentimental value. A custom framed gift, designed just for dad, is one-of-a-kind that makes Dad feel even more special.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to framing ideas for  Father’s Day. Photographs, such as family portraits, wedding and anniversary photos, and baby pictures make wonderful subjects. Other unique ideas include photos of pets or fun times from family vacations. Treasured family heirlooms and objects from childhood memories or family celebrations make a beautiful presentation and add that extra touch of sincerity.
 

If  Dad is a collector or a hobbyist, then plan your gifts to match his interests. Frame a sample from his medal, coin, stamp, or comic collection. A gardener might enjoy a framed botanical print. An avid baseball fan would be pleased with a framed baseball from a memorable game along with the program. Is an old varsity jacket of Dad’s hanging in the closet? What about a special  hockey jersey he may have? Does Dad have a favorite 45 record hiding in the basement? Surprise him and have it framed.

Parents and grandparents are proud to display their children’s or grandchildren’s artwork. Graduation, dance recitals, or sports games that were captured in great photographs make wonderful custom-framed gifts.

We will help you personalize your gift so Father’s Day lasts all year long. If you are stuck for an idea, gift certificates are available so your loved ones can create something special of their own.


A Shadow box featuring Dad's favorite sports memorabilia makes a thoughtful gift.


A Family portrait is always a special keepsake.


Dad's favorite jersey can be framed for him to display.
