“Good framing is the product of design and execution, and I admire Carleton-Kirkegaard's ability to look deeply at a painting and design something that enhances it. They simply take a work of art and make it better.”

-Frank Goss, owner, Sullivan Goss Gallery, Santa Barbara/Montecito

“Exquisite craftsmanship coupled with innovative design equals a beautiful and unique frame.”

-Carol Schwartz Funk, American Society of Interior Designers

“They make us (artists) look so good. They have made framing an art form.”

-Meredith Abbott, artist, Carpinteria, California

"We had an unusual project which required Chris and Amelia to create a frame for a three dimensional artwork in our home. The piece they created is a dream...beautiful design, carving and gilding...a work of art in itself!"

-Sharon and David Bradford
