About Us

Joining a highly reputable Gallery in the Historic Market Town of Romsey in the south of England in 1986 as an apprentice, I soon became absorbed into the world of art and the craft of Picture Framing. Undertaking a further education course in Interior Design and part-time experience with Graphic Design only added to my interest in the visual arts. As the years passed my experience and confidence grew, as did the list of notable clients for whom we strove to provide quality service and with that gain an enviable reputation as, quote,' One of the finest Picture Framing establishments in the south of England'.

1991 was the year I completed and passed an exam with The Fine Art Trade Guild in London, England, to earn the title of Guild Commended Framer ' GCF'.

In 2004 I started K FRAME, a home-based business in the unique and historic country town of Strathalbyn, South Australia. Working from home allowed me to raise my two children and to be an integral part of their lives and provided a relaxed environment which gave me more time to build relationships with my clients to provide the same traditional values that many reputable establishments were once known for, you could say that I'm still a little 'Old School' in that regard!

In 2010 I was selected to enter The Antons National Creative Framing Competition and my work was chosen as the runner-up from the South Australian entries.

With an extensive client base of conscientious creative people from many locations across the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, including but not limited to; Strathalbyn, The Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, Goolwa, Victor Harbor, Milang, Clayton, Ashbourne, Macclesfield and The McLaren Vale. K FRAME aims to consistently provide the same passion and exacting standards to clients from all walks of life Fine-Art professionals and budding artists alike. From Textile artists and Needlework enthusiasts to Graphic artists, Photographers, Business people, Homeowners, Memorabilia collectors, Antique lovers and Renovators, Creatives and Conservators.

Regular people who want and can rely on honest advice and serious input to enhance and preserve their Art in all its many and often unique forms. People who have come to expect conservation framing materials are standards when direct contact with artwork takes place. The techniques employed to achieve those lasting protective and aesthetic results are an affordable common practice and not just a luxury option. Being a Fine Art Trade Guild Commended Framer is, I believe, a guarantee of quality, integrity and reliability and a testament to my commitment to providing a consistently high standard in all aspects of my craft.
