New! ArtFramed Photos

In a unique marriage of custom-designed frames with original artwork, we are presenting a new collaboration called ArtFramed Photos. Woodturner Mark Zimmerman uses a lathe to produce distinctive frames from a variety of types of wood, and embellishes the frames to enhance Ellen’s photographic prints, adding to their impact. Each ArtFramed Photo is one of a kind, since each piece of wood has its own characteristics, dimension and shape.Interested in purchasing?

Bare Branches

In this golden-brown time, the leaves have fallen from the trees. But there’s warmth in the afternoon sky, spreading light throughout, crowning the image with dramatic clouds. The unique wood-turned walnut frame creates a calming circle around this moment. Wood around wood, life around life.

Autumn Glory

Late fall has a special magic. Maples turn brilliant red, mingling with greens, browns, and golds over crystal-clear water. Knowing the gray months are coming, we savor this time. The grain of the unique wood-turned oak frame (painted black) extends the stream’s ripples far beyond the image.

Mysteries Within

Shadow and sunlight dance on the stream in swirls of reds, golds, and browns. An award-winning image, juror Judith Becker said it had the wow factor. "These are the art pieces that you want to look at for more than a glance, the ones that prompt the viewer to linger a while and be amazed at the overall impact of the art." The piece is framed in a unique wood-turned white-oak frame colored with a blend of alcohol-based wood dyes in reds and blacks to carry out into the very edges the motion of the water.

Sparkles on the Lake

Simple stems and sun sparkles remind us to embrace the last greens of fall. We see new growth, sunshine, lake, gentle colors. It is the kind of intimate landscape you can find many places. And precisely because of that, it is a universal metaphor for possibility and hope. The wood-turned frame is made of white oak and embellished with alcohol-based wood dyes.
