We’re welcoming one of our newest sponsors today: Kay Rood, Framer. Kay Rood is dedicated to making every frame aesthetically exceptional and structurally sound. Now in West Seattle, her shop, KR,F Custom Picture Framing, has provided quality design and personal service in Seattle since 1979. Kay’s professional fine-arts background as well as her skill as an artisan contributes to her trustworthiness as a designer/consultant. Each piece comes to the shop with a story or special memory to share and keep — whether it’s an old family photograph, a contemporary oil painting, an etching, a textile, a diploma, or a drawing for a gallery exhibition. At KR,F the challenge and enjoyment of designing each art work is met with creative energy and care, as designer and client work together to find the right design solution in a personable, informal shop ambience. Because protection is as important as presentation, only conservation-quality neutral-pH mat board is used. A wide range of quality mouldings is offered, as well as ultraviolet-filtering and reflection-free glass. A handsome selection of linens and silks is available for wrapped mats or backings. KR,F collaborates with specialized art conservators for referral when restoration or conservation is needed. Kay comes to West Seattle from Capitol Hill, where her community activism led her to become deeply involved in the creation of Cal Anderson Park. She’s excited to live and work in the new High Point community, and looks forward to contributing as it grows and evolves. Experience, imagination and sound advice have kept a loyal clientele returning to KR,F Custom Picture Framing for thirty years. Learn more online at www.kayroodframer.com. The shop is open by appointment at your convenience. Phone 206-324-9118.
