Ive had many things framed here and the work is impeccable. The years of experience they have would take 4 or 5 other shops combined to equal. This shop is top shelf if you love your Art have it framed here.

The gallery has returned to a program of serious gallery shows with beautiful results.I made a brief sweep of the Troy arts scene. Clement Gallery had launched a show by Elizabeth Apgar - Smith, a painter known for her depictions of farm life in the Schoharie River Valley. Her husband and she made a journey by boat to where the Schoharie River joins the Mohawk River, making reference pictures and photographs. The couple continued along the Mohawk until Cohoes Falls forced the boat into the chain of four locks in Waterford, connecting the Mohawk River to the Hudson. The two arrived in Troy and docked. And the two returned to their home to work.The pictures and sketched she transformed into a series of oil paintings of the journey. I loved them. Almost all of her images struck me deeply because I had witnessed the landmarks from the window of the Amtrak Train that plies the route along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers. She captured a ruined aqueduct that carried the Erie Canal over a tributary of the Mohawk. She rendered defunct factories along the way. Even the empty white edifice of the Adirondack Power Company loomed ten stories high on the south bank of the Mohawk River. Sadly, she had priced a number of the oils too inexpensively, now marked as purchased with a red dot on the label. The collection belongs together and the smaller pieces have owners now who will take them home at the end of the show. Maybe she can paint a set intended to be sold as one collection. A museum could dedicate a gallery to the collection.I found her Facebook page. Maybe she’ll take a fancy to the next, natural subject for her painting. The Old Champlain Canal begins in Waterford and continues north to Lake Champlain. Although much of the abandoned canal passes through woods and swamps, many stretches remain passable on bicycle. She’ll be delighted to see that turtles abound and blue herons flock on the way. In fact, the beavers themselves have taken over the regulation of water levels. Let’s find out what she imagines to be possible.

I have loved every single piece Ive had framed there and have been really excited to find a few pieces that they had for sale on that Ive fallen for! Customer service and attention to detail are both exceptional!
