ABOUT THE ARTIST

I met Lisa in the mid-90s when I worked at the Nicklaus Companies, she was the go-to person for all corporate custom framing back then and still is today.

Lisa’s services go way beyond custom framing. First of all, she is schooled in the fine arts and is very talented in both drawing and painting. She combines her creative skills with her sense of design that is fueled by a vast knowledge of high-end custom frames, techniques, and materials. If you have a major piece of art to be framed, you should invite her to see the space in which it will hang and let her suggest the framing materials for you. Lastly, Lisa’s personality makes the experience a lot of fun; you want to work with her.

Recently a friend of mine invited me back to Seminole Golf Club for lunch and we dined in the club’s E.F. Hutton Room. Seminole is golf’s hallowed ground, and Lisa had told me she had been digitizing the the club’s archive and had painstakingly scanned, printed, and framed photos of many of the great golfers that had played at Seminole over the years. When I walked into the room I was taken aback — the prints were toned consistently, her choice of framing and matting perfectly complimented the room, yet did not overpower it. The arrangement of groupings of photos were in a delicate balance and extremely handsome.

Last year my company was hired to make poster-sized prints of Jack Nicklaus for the new Golden Bear Grill at Fort Lauderdale Airport. I immediately recommended Lisa to the Interior Design company and we went to meet the project director to discuss the prints, custom framing, and installation. The best part of the meeting was watching Lisa in action. She knew immediately what needed to be done and suggested on the spot mattes and frames to blend with the restaurant’s design. This was an intimidating project and Lisa didn’t miss a beat. Lisa and the project director clicked immediately. I could tell all her suggestions were resonating strongly. Lisa managed the entire process and personally installed all the photos on time and on budget. The decor of the restaurant is amazing because of Lisa.

What is the best piece of advice I could give to one of her new customers? Hire her and then trust her suggestions.

With great respect,
