The Frame Maker is pleases to support San Diego Coastkeeper tonight with a donation to the silent auction portion of their annual Ocean Gala.

Created by artist and TFM general manager John Hiemstra, “Ocean Abstract #3” is the next in a series created from resins, plasters, waxes and paints left from John’s work as a faux finish and mural contractor.

This particular piece was inspired by and created out of materials recycled from the production picture framing operations at The Frame Maker, including maple, pine and bass woods, plexiglass and wood composites.The framing materials are also recycled, the mounting board from a shipping crate and the frame from an over order of moulding.The completed frame was then custom refinished to work with the piece, one of many new services John has implemented at The Frame Maker this year.
