My Dad passed away recently and I was looking to have someone create a very special shadow box in his memory. One that would capture the essence of who he was, his tremendous appreciation for music, and his true passion of being a Professional Jazz Clarinetist. I only wanted the very BEST to take on this important project for our family! And for this reason I chose to go with Samantha Thompson who owns Canal Art and Framing. Her background and extensive experience truly are impressive! She not only exudes an intense passion for her craft, but her brilliance, expertise, artful eye, and precise attention to detail are to be commended!

Thank you so much Samantha for your help...

Samantha hits as a 10 on all counts as a professional framer. The work is exceptional, attention to detail is top shelf, and her assistance to her clients in choosing the proper and compatible mat and/or frame is always on target. Having that innate color sense to choose compatible elements for a piece of art is really a pretty rare talent. One of the few places you could probably walk into, drop the art work on the work table, give Sam carte blanche, walk away and return to a beautiful product. Truly a hidden gem in...
