All Team

Prior to me being a picture framer atTweed Art I was a freelance advertising photographer in London and studied photography at Bournemouth College of art design.

In 1998 we decided to leave London and we saw a picture framing business for sale in Peebles and liked the idea of framing. In 1999 we bought the business from Bob McHardy, my predecessor, who taught me the basics of framing and I have learnt the rest and became a member of the Fine Art Trade Guild in 2001. I became a guild commended framer in 2001 then awarded picture framer for the south of Scotland in 2008 And became a certified framer in 2018 which gives my customers the confidence that I know what I’m doing when it comes to their artwork.

Framing gives me a great pleasure to see the customers reaction once their picture has been framed up, transforming and enhancing the art.
