Hi there,

Welcome to the H. Marion Framing newsletter!

Our Commitment to You (& Your Art!)

H. Marion Framing proudly offers a 100% guarantee on all of our products and services. If a completed frame or design does not meet a customer’s expectation, we will design and construct a new frame presentation at no cost.

There is a reason we have been serving the design needs of our clients since 1973!

Framer/Art Consultant Also a Client

Jan Marion recently celebrated a milestone birthday and received a truly surprising and heartfelt gift; one designed in his own frame shop and assembled at his production facility.

"I cannot help thinking about the old Hair Club for Men commercial, where the spokesman says that he is 'not only the president, but also a client.' That’s how I felt when my family presented me with a framed shadow box on my 50th birthday."              read more

Giving Back: as easy as riding a bike

Ever imagine riding 109 miles through the southwestern desert with a peloton of professional cyclists (and amateur enthusiasts of course)? Next month I have an opportunity to do just that.

I will join a group of local riders travelling to Tucson, AZ to participate in the annual road race, El Tour de Tucson. Not only is this race a blast if you don’t crash, but it is a major source of funding for the University Medical Center and an organization called Tu Nidito.

For the past 12 years, Tu Nidito has been the primary beneficiary of El Tour de Tucson, with cyclists raising more than $200,000 for the cause each year, providing over 25% of their annual operating budget.

Unique Projects Deserve Special Framing Treatment

July 26, 2009, Rickey Henderson accepted his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, where he was presented with a plaque, commemorating a career spanning nineteen years and nine different teams.

Tips & Trends : Super Size it!

Framing large collectibles can pose a challenge, but we always have the solution. There are many ways to frame oversized collectibles, including shadowboxes and unique display showcases. No matter what you may have to frame, we can create a design for you that will fit into your home or office décor.
Signed letters, autographed photos, and even clothing can all be displayed in an interesting way. For instance, a signed letter from LBJ along with his Stetson hat make a fabulous presentation. Displayed in an acrylic box, all the items are preserved and protected from the environment. This makes quite an impressive piece for an office or corporate hallway.

Let our designers help your collectibles make a real statement!

Featured Artist : Erica Hopper

Erica Hopper was born in Kansas City, Missouri, studied graphic and industrial design at San Diego State University, and continued her art education at the University of The Americas in Puebla, Mexico. During the 70’s and 80’s she was a successful illustrator with published works in national periodicals. Today Hopper concentrates on oil media and textile design. It is clear one influences the other by the rhythm and texture found in her paintings.

Erica Hopper’s work is in both private & corporate collections throughout the U.S. and is available through our gallery either as a limited edition print on canvas or original oil painting.
