Client Testimonials

"This is the finest framing studio I have experienced, including past dealings with reputable framers in Washington, DC and New York City. Always a joy to work with their staff."
Charles Buzzanell, MDBlue Ridge Pain Management & Palliative Care
"As a former gallery owner myself I knew my standards were very high, but, in time, I found the excellence I sought in BlackBird. I wouldn’t trust my art work with anyone else now. As the years have passed I continue to be surprised and pleased to find that, once again, they come up with a great design and we have fun working on it."
Nancy Ackerman Cole
"I just didn’t know what to expect when I came in here. I didn’t know what I wanted, but you took this and really made it into something. It’s even better than I could have imagined."
Regina Asriel
"The frames are perfect and exactly what we envisioned. I will certainly recommend you and your team at every opportunity. You have exceeded our expectations, and we are most grateful for the attention to detail and the customer service you provided at all times."
