Maria used her creative flair to carefully choose frames and cut stunning mounts for my five vinyl records. The results don’t just look good - they shout to the world ‘Hey, look at me!!’. I can’t stop staring at them! Maria is not simply a ‘framer’ - she goes way beyond just colour, shape and material. I always return to her because she applies her creative vision to each individual project which she executes with meticulous craftsmanship.
