Why Custom Framing Is an Art form — Not Just a Service

When most people think of picture framing, they imagine a quick run to the craft store. But when you’re preserving a piece of fine art, a family heirloom, or a meaningful print — framing becomes something much deeper.

At Art Elevations in Honolulu, we see framing as an artform in its own right — a process of honoring what matters to you, and elevating it into a lasting, visual experience.Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it.

The Frame Is Part of the Artwork

The wrong frame can dull an image, distort a story, or let valuable art fade. The right frame, though, enhances everything:

  • It deepens color and contrast

  • It draws the eye without distraction

  • It provides long-term protection from UV, moisture, and dust

We approach each piece like a collaboration — between the artwork, the environment it will live in, and you.

Framing for Island Life

Being in Hawaii, we also consider climate and environment. The materials we use are chosen for archival safety and longevity, especially with humidity and salt air. We offer:

  • Museum-grade UV-protected glass and acrylic

  • Acid-free mats and backings

  • Hardwood and handcrafted frame styles built locally

What Makes Art Elevations Different?

We’re not a big box store — we’re a fine art studio embedded in a creative community. Our work reflects the stories of local artists, collectors, and homeowners who value quality and intention.

Whether you’re framing a piece of modern art, vintage photography, or a family keepsake — we help you preserve the soul of it.
