Custom Picture Framing at Pelican Art Gallery in Petaluma:
Pelican Art is an artist owned and operated custom framing studio, with an eye for both design and presentation. Linda Postenrieder, a co-owner, is the only Certified Professional Framer (CPF) in the region. Our designs are unique, yet integrated to your artwork and your style. "Quality Presentation and Preservation" sm is more than just a Service Mark to us: is it how we work.
Your artwork is handled with care and framed with conservation level materials. We use only UV filtering glass or acrylic, acid free or rag matboards, and rag backing boards. Our mounting methods - with just one exception - are all conservation level.
Read our framing blog for more information about framing. See our photo gallery for examples.
We do offer a non-conservation presentation method for mounting paper art of sentimental value only at a more economical price: posters and maps and photographs can be permanently adhered to a wooden board and a UV protective laminate applied to the top. This is a great option for some pieces, and we'll mention it when appropriate.
We have the largest selection of frame mouldings, matboards, enhancers and fillets in the area. We will find the right combination for you. Call us for information, or better yet, bring in your artwork for a design.
 Here are some of our selections.

Pictured is an abstract painting with a double mat, bottom weighted. Note how the dark inner mat and the dark frame repeat motifs from the painting. The wide mat provides a visual 'quiet space' around the high-energy composition.
