My name is Ellen Byrnes and I am a professional artist and picture framer. I have been a professional framer for over fifteen years, from California all the way to our very own Art of Framing in Lafayette, IN. I am excited to showcase many of the matting, mounting, and framing techniques I’ve learned to you, including those used in my most recent show at The Arts Federation this September.
