A sailing ship, rolling waves, and a sky full of seabirds, all brought to life one stitch at a time.

This detailed needlepoint piece has wonderful texture, movement, and colour. The weathered wood frame, with its rope-inspired detailing, is a particularly fitting choice for the nautical scene.

At The Beacon Studio, we work with needlepoint, embroidery, and other textile artwork to create custom framing that complements both the craftsmanship and the character of each piece.

Some of the smallest clothes hold the biggest memories.

This little blue sweater, complete with Arthur’s name stitched across the front and those two tiny yellow buttons, deserved more than a spot tucked away in a drawer.

We created a custom shadow box with a warm wood frame and a soft, neutral background, giving this special keepsake a place on the wall where it can be enjoyed for years to come.

At The Beacon Studio, we love finding creative ways to frame the things that mean the most.

Five favorite photos, one well-loved collar, and a whole lot of personality.

This custom piece brings together some wonderful moments from a dog's life, from running along the beach to bounding through autumn leaves.

The arrangement features a larger portrait surrounded by four smaller photographs, with the dog's colorful collar and tag mounted below. The textured blue matting and slim gold accents tie everything together beautifully.

It's a lovely example of how custom framing can bring photographs and personal keepsakes together into something truly special.

Some concert posters deserve more than a spot in a drawer.

This Taylor Hawkins tribute concert poster from the September 27, 2022 show at the Los Angeles Forum is packed with intricate illustrations, dramatic blues, fiery reds, and layered imagery celebrating the legendary Foo Fighters drummer.

The simple black frame and dark matting complement the artwork without competing with its incredible detail.

At The Beacon Studio, we love working with concert posters that have a story behind them. Sometimes the best framing choice is the one that lets the artwork do all the talking.

Some concert posters are just as bold as the music they celebrate.

This Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert poster from Wembley Stadium in London is impossible to overlook. Electric greens, vivid blues, a watchful hawk, and psychedelic illustrations give the design an unmistakable rock-and-roll personality.

The black frame and dark surrounding border provide a strong contrast, letting the poster's intense colors and intricate details take center stage.

A great example of how custom framing can turn a concert poster into a standout piece of wall art.

A Portrait of the Ones Who Make a House Feel Like Home.

Custom framing isn’t limited to traditional artwork. Pet portraits can be every bit as meaningful, especially when they capture the personalities that become such a big part of everyday life.

This portrait of Pippin & Sammy was finished with a classic black frame, generous neutral matting, and a small nameplate below. A simple presentation that keeps the attention exactly where it belongs.

Have a pet portrait or another meaningful piece you’d like framed? Bring it by The Beacon Studio and we’ll help you find the right presentation.

A little Caribbean color for the walls.

This framed Vieques exhibition poster features a coastal painting by Glen Wielgus, with brilliant blue water, rocky cliffs, and palms overlooking the shoreline.

The wide white border gives the colorful artwork room to stand out, while the simple black frame provides a clean, understated finish.

A lovely example of how an exhibition poster can become a striking piece of wall art.

There's plenty to take in with this vibrant coastal scene. From the brilliant blue water and lush greenery to the sunlit terrace, every corner of the artwork is full of colour and movement.

The textured wood frame and warm, neutral matting provide a quieter contrast, giving the artwork room to shine without competing with its energy.

It's a great example of how thoughtful framing can complement a colourful piece without overpowering it.

Some portraits deserve a place of their own.

This cat portrait pairs a clean white mat with a textured dark frame, keeping the attention on the artwork while giving the finished piece plenty of presence on the wall.

Whether it’s an original portrait, illustration, photograph, or another piece inspired by a much-loved pet, custom framing can turn it into something that feels right at home.

A Tribute to a Very Good Friend

Some of the most meaningful pieces we frame aren’t traditional artwork at all.
This custom memorial brings together Ruby’s photograph, paw prints, collar and a personalized keepsake in one display. Thoughtful details like these can tell a story in a way a single photograph simply can’t, creating something deeply personal for the people who loved them.

We’re always honored to help our customers find a thoughtful way to display the memories that matter most.
