Academy Art & Frame Company (AAFC) is a custom framing shop and art gallery in Colorado Springs, CO. We showcase the art of approximately 200 artists from the region and regularly have exhibits featuring groups or solo artists. 'Learn A Little' is the educational section of our videos, and provides our audience with condensed information about specific framing products and practices. For this video, we decided to show an experimental process, one that we were nervous but very excited about. We often get these beautiful painted papyrus' from Egypt and in many cases they are very tightly rolled. Usually we are able to unroll them and mount them with out issue but in this case, the customer purchased the pieces back in 2007 and they were beginning to crack and break as they were unrolled. With her signed permission and release, we used water/steam to soften the fibers. This was the nervous part as too much water will separate the fibers nor did we know how the paint would react with water. You'll have to watch to see the end results! 🙂 If you like our video content, please subscribe! We strive to post a new video every Friday or Saturday afternoon. Thanks for watching!

Academy Art & Frame Company (AAFC) is a custom conservation art framing shop and art gallery. We carry the largest selection of frame moulding samples in southern Colorado and we showcase the work of approximately 200 local and regional artists. Our Featured Consignment Artist videos are an opportunity for us to promote the works of these artists in a new and unique way. Our goal for the gallery is to promote local artists and give all skill level artists from emerging, to student, to professionals a local space to show their work. We encourage artists of any age and skill level. Featured here is the work of Jacqueline Pearson. "As I begin an abstract painting, I might not have a specific idea of what it will look like at completion but excitement sets in with the application of my first brush stroke. I try to imagine what the world would feel like if every object could be viewed in a way that is less than literal. My aim is to challenge the perception of a reality that might be unseen in the eyes of the world. By applying paint in layers, it not only adds depth to the painting, it adds exciting texture which makes it more interesting and lively. If calligraphy is the element that brings the painting together, then that is the next step. When I feel the painting is telling me “that’s enough”, I try to listen to that still small voice and call it finished." If you like our video content, please subscribe!

Our goal for the gallery is to promote local artists and give all skill level artists from emerging, to student, to professionals a local space to show their work. We encourage artists of any age and skill level. Featured here is the work of Lorrie Beck. Lorrie is a Dallas, Texas native. She is an alumna of both Baylor University where she holds a Bachelor’s in Fine Art and the University of Colorado from where she earned a Masters of Business Administration. Beck has talent and extensive experience both in illustration and commercial art. Her work includes book illustrations, corporate logo designs, letterheads and numerous other commercial art projects. Throughout her life she has enjoyed drawing and painting, but has concentrated almost exclusively on western and wildlife subjects. Drawing has always been a passion for Beck, using pencil to combine her love of art, horses and the outdoors, though in recent years she has expanded her medium choices to include pastels and oils. Beck also volunteers her time to teach children about art, famous artists and various art techniques. Not only is it a learning experience for her, but she feels that sharing her talent and knowledge with a new generation is priceless. She is also an accomplished equestrienne and outdoor enthusiast. You can see more of her work and contact her at www.lorriebeck.com and originalart@lorriebeck.com If you like our video content, please subscribe!

I want to invite all my Colorado Springs friends to a fun/free festive parking-lot "Art Reception and Fair”this Friday, June 18th, at Academy Art and Frames (located at 7560 N. Academy Blvd. Colorado Springs, 80920). The action will start at 3:30 and run till 7:30pm. There will be drinks and a Food Truck available (Texas BBQ) to tempt you. There will be art booths and displays by Colorado Springs local artists. I will also have a booth, (Yay!) showing and selling some of my recent paintings and cards, as well as my recently published book, Hildie’s Hat Party! I will be signing my book and giving away some freebies to any children present. Around 5:30, I will be presenting an art demonstration on the Liquid Pour painting technique that I teach in in my art classes here at Academy Art & Frame Co. If you've always wanted to see what it's like, come out and watch. Kids are welcome! ...
