CURATOR PICKS

The Studio Cutter 

This is the only cutter I trust for my studio work. It’s a reliable, buy-it-once tool that delivers the clean, 45-degree professional edges you need for a high-end look.

3-Frame Wood Set

A versatile set of frames that feels substantial and high-quality. These are great for building a cohesive gallery wall without having to source individual pieces.

Ornate Gold Frame

There is a specific weight and "history" to these vintage-style frames. They are perfect for making a new space feel more established and intentional.

Large Frames with Glass

These large-scale frames act as the anchors for a room. The natural wood grain adds a lot of warmth, and the glass keeps everything looking crisp and professional.

Stud Finder

Hanging art requires more than guesswork. This tool ensures your heavier frames are anchored securely into the wall studs so you never have to worry about them falling.

Kraft Backing Tape

A must-have for finishing. This acid-free tape creates a professional, dust-proof seal that protects your art from the elements over time.

Mounting Tape

This is what I use to secure art inside the mat. It’s archival-safe, meaning it won’t cause yellowing or damage the paper as the years go by.

Acid-Free Mat Boards

I recommend keeping these staples in white or black. If you want a custom look, you can always use my free guide to tint them yourself.

Beehive Framing Mounts

These are a game-changer for gallery walls. They allow you to micro-adjust frames in any direction so your alignment is perfect without having to put extra holes in the wall.

Foam Roller

If you’re tinting your own mat boards, these are the best tools for the job. The foam is dense enough to give you a smooth, professional finish with zero texture.

Sawtooth Hangers

Designed for smaller, lighter pieces. These are simple to install and hold the frame steady against the wall without the need for hanging wire.

Rubber Bumpers

Small but essential. These allow for airflow behind the frame and keep the bottom corners from scuffing your paint.

Eye Hooks and Wire

The traditional way to hang art. This setup allows the frame to lean slightly forward at a natural, gallery-style angle.
