What People Are Saying
My husband and I are avid collectors of contemporary art and we have trusted Petra with our framing needs for years. She takes the time to consider each framing job with care and consideration. Her skill and knowledge are apparent in her technical advice and aesthetic recommendations. Petra is also a pleasure to work with and we look forward to supporting her new venture.

Petra offers invaluable guidance on what frame will best suit an artwork. Highly professional, she has always helped me select the right frame profile, walking me through many options and ensuring I am totally satisfied before moving forward. Her expertise on mat size and colour is also so appreciated, as is her outstanding attention to detail. I would strongly recommend her high-quality framing services for any project.

As a contemporary painter and printmaker, I need to work with a custom framer who not only keeps pace with shifting contemporary fine art framing styles and has deep knowledge of conservation best practices but has a talent for fine craftsmanship. Not to mention crazy good problem-solving skills when unique framing challenges arise. I have tremendous confidence in everything that Petra does. Thank you, Petra, for your positive and generous nature in all that you do.

I worked with Petra for eight years at the MacLaren Art Centre, where she was the long-term Manager of Framing Services. Like many of her loyal clients, I followed her to Hewson Fine Art Services. I have entrusted my own artwork to her for years, and just as confidently placed the artwork of others in her capable hands. I trust Petra’s instincts, her ethics of care, and her fantastic eye—Petra’s simply the best!
