When creating a finished wooden frame for a specific object a picture frame maker performs the tasks of a joiner, a carver, and a gilder. My experinece restoring antique mirror and picture frames has sparked the interest of the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Canadian Craft Museum and the Vancouver Museum . They, as well as collectors of fine art acquire my service on a regular basis. My Vision-My craftmanship is based on my research of traditional techniques or joinery, carving and gilding.

The gilder's task is the final task performed by a picture frame maker. The desired finish may be one or a combination of the following finishes: painted, oil gilded or water gilded. When the carving is completed, the gilder prepares the wood surface. If the frame has carved ornamentation then the carver's task is to add wood in order to create certain shapes and forms.
