How should Mats and Frames be chosen?
It is important for the framing of a piece of artwork not to distract from the work itself. This can be accomplished in many ways for each and every piece of work, there is no one correct answer to choosing your materials and colors. The ultimate goal is to have framing which looks as if it belongs to the artwork. A white mat and plain black frame can be just as distracting from the artwork as the choice of an inappropriate color can. An experienced framer can help guide you to the frame and matting which compliments your work as well as your own personal taste.
