Testimonials

"Char is always an absolute pleasure to work with as I frame my photographic artwork.  She operates with the utmost professionalism and her products are incredibly affordable for such high quality.  She and I have collaborated on several framed, fine arts photographs in which she included a stylish bit of stained glass matting.  She produces creative matting that is far beyond what you would find at any other framing shop.  I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to put a finishing touch on their art work. Thanks for all your really good help."
~Marie Wilke-Dolber, Photographer


"Char Smith has framed over 200 pictures and certificates for Family Health Center of Battle Creek. Not only does she frame pictures, but she also hangs them. Char is able to look at an area and be able to select “just the right” picture and size. We have received several complements from patients, guests, and staff on how nice the photos look. Regardless of how much time she is given to complete a task, Char has always got the job done on time."
~Diane Craig, Family Health Center of Battle Creek


"On Several occasions we have used Char Smith of Forever Framing to preserve and display valuable art work, our prized diplomas and certificates of attainment. They are now proudly displayed in our office. Char’s attention to detail and creativity sets her apart from the other framers we have used in the past. I have recommended her to several friends and patients and received praise for suggesting her service to them."
~Dr. Daniel Miller


"The painting you framed for that space looks like it was made for it! I had been dubious about the blue matt, but it works perfectly! The matt colors were perfect for their respective paintings and the wooden frames beautifully put together. The frames really complete the entire package. The backs of the paintings were done very professionally and again, show the attention to detail. I especially appreciate the work because I have matted and framed my own paintings for years and know the time and expertise involved!"
~Jackie (Art Teacher and Client)


"In considering the professional services of FOREVER FRAMING, may I recommend a heartfelt YES!  I have the honor of enjoying artwork that Charlene has framed for me and receive consistent compliments on her work.  As a consultant, working with a number of museums throughout the US, I have found it is rare to find an individual of such talent combined with a marvelous understanding of a client's actual needs; she literally sets the bar for others.  I have had many works framed for other organizations, but the work she has done for me far exceeds that of other professionals I have employed, from LA to Seattle to Atlanta.  With Forever Framing, you are in very capable and professional hands.  There is no need to look further, the best is right here at your fingertips!"
~R. Douglas Deaton
