Bring Your Own Photo to Yellowbird Arts
Bring your own photo into our shop at Yellowbird Arts Gallery and we will turn it into Art! Your photo can be enlarged, framed or even look like it is on canvas! The process works best with a high resolution picture taken with your camera or phone. Just add the digital photo to a memory card or email your picture to us and we'll look after it.

Larson-Juhl – For the Best in Custom Framing!
Did you know that framing a special piece of art or memorabilia can actually help to preserve it and keep it in beautiful condition for future generations?
It's true. Ask your local custom framer what they can do to help keep your treasures looking their best for years to come, using Larson-Juhl custom framing products.
Custom Framing - Quilt
Custom framing can also help bridge the gap that may exist between a favorite piece of art or item and the style throughout the rest of your home. Perhaps you live in a modern space but would like to display Grandma's beautiful, handcrafted quilt square? Custom framing it in a design that not only highlights Grandma’s art, but also complements your decor, will make it look as if the antique quilt square was meant for your contemporary space!
Custom Framing - Abstract
Maybe you have an abstract work of art, but the room you'd like to hang it in is traditionally styled?
Thanks to the magic of custom framing, your art piece will seamlessly transition into the rest of your space with the perfect frame design, customized just for you!
Custom Framing - Mats
Preservation is also a part of the custom framing process – and your local custom framer can help select the best options for you, your piece, and your home. They'll take into consideration the type of piece you're having custom framed, where it will hang, and what elements may come into contact with it. Then, they'll make recommendations on the best custom framing materials to use. They may suggest using items such as UV free glass, museum glass and archival matboards to extend the life of your custom framed treasure.
Any way you look at it, custom framing products from Larson-Juhl are the answer to all of your wall decor needs!

Art Makeovers
Frame styles alter, progress and change as does every-thing else in your home. The art you buy, more often than not, is timeless. In fact, a true sign of fine art is that it never goes out of style. If you have a piece (or pieces) you own and love and they are looking a little "dated," you may want to consider whether it's time to try a new framing option.
Styles, colours, mat and moulding sizes are subject to the same forces of design change that every other item in your home experiences. So whether you are in the middle of redecorating or simply want to give new life to an old favorite, come down and let us custom design a new look for your art.
