Chantelle Harding of Frame of Mind Fine Art & Framing provides excellent service and conducts her business in a very professional manner.

— Catherine Stewart (Artist/Printmaker)1st hired Chantelle as framing of fine art in 2002

 

Chantelle was recommended to me in 1999 by an artist who confided that ‘all the artists would only have their exhibition work framed by her and no one else!’. And for the past 9 years I have used her company, it has been with good reason: she is creative, personable, reliable and has a tremendous eye for color and composition having an artist background herself. I would not use anyone else to frame additions to my collection, even when the works have to send from Vancouver Island to Vancouver. Frame of Mind provides great service where art work and framing become one. I would highly recommend Chantelle.”

There’s a reason why Vancouver Magazine profiled Chantelle’s company Frame of Mind as the best custom framing shop in Vancouver recently. As an artist herself, Chantelle understands how to frame art or photos in ways that showcase the work elegantly and suit the environment it will be displayed. She always treats you like her favourite customer and your art like it was an original Picasso. I’ll never get important pieces framed anywhere else again.”
