"When I chose Art USA to frame a document for me, I did so because of the positive reviews I read on this web site.

Melissa helped me by choosing a mat and frame for a legal document we were presenting to a client. When I picked up the finished product, I could not have been more pleased. It is professional looking with beautiful undertones. Her choices for the matting and the layout of the document were perfect in creating exactly what we wanted.

I will absolutely return to Art USA for any future framing project."

 

Chelsea Jordan, United Heritage Credit Union, Jan '11

"I worked with Dan and Melissa to furnish our corporate offices with pieces of art. They walked me through the entire process, from ordering the prints to selecting the framing to hanging the finished pieces in our offices.

Everything we purchased from Art USA turned out beautifully and complements our offices perfectly. They seem to be able to adjust to anyone's personal style and pull choices that are made for each piece.

I enjoyed working with both Dan and Melissa and look forward to coming to them again with any future projects."

"I lucked in to this shop and to Melissa shortly after moving to Austin and she is spectacular. I was changing up my surroundings completely and Melissa really helped me find what I liked surrounding art. She has an excellent eye and is always open to playing with colors and textures and she lets me have the time and support I need to play and then settle on a decision. I live in North Austin and probably pass 100 art and framing shops to come here. I have found Art USA to be a wonderful balance of beauty and professionalism."

"I have had the good fortunate to work with Melissa and Dan at ART USA for several years.

My first encounter was to have something framed and felt I could select something myself, a task harder than I expected. Melissa and Dan politely observed and then asked if they might help by pulling a few different mats and framing ideas. I was pleasantly surprised with their careful selection and realized they had a better eye for what complimented my piece of art than I did.

Needless to say that was my last attempt to do it myself. I now give them a free hand with trust and value their professionalism and expertise.

Melissa is a talented artist and enjoy the painting she has provided for our home, offfice, and gifts"

"I walked into the Bee Caves store and immediately spotted the perfect print. The staff spent over an hour helping me with the frame and matts. The job was completed on time and they did a fantastic job. I was very pleased with their professionalism and skill."

Jane Piper, June '10

"I\'ve been having work done by Art USA for quite a few years and have always been very satisified. They are always extremely courteous and knowledgable.

I always enjoy bringing pieces in to be framed - I\'ve brought everything from jigsaw puzzles put together on family vacations to rather expensive paintings. Melissa ia always able to help with the framing and matting design and colors. "

 

Russell Douglas, May '10

"It is with pleasure that I offer my thanks to Melissa and Dan for all of their work with me over the past 10-15 years.

Melissa in particular has been instrumental in framing many unique pieces in my collection. She has framed many museum type pieces, game used jerseys, staged played guitars, and historical letters and documents.

The quality of work by Art USA distinguishes them from their competitors. They are also sensitive to work product that many of us provide for charities around Austin and Central Texas.

Equally important to me is the way Dan and Melissa treat their customers. They are fair in their pricing and always stand behind their finished product.

I do not go anywhere else for my framing needs. Many thanks to the two of you for your professionalism and friendship."

 

Sheryl and John Scott, May '10

"John and I have used ArtUSA for the last 15 years with all of our framing needs. They have continued to be consistant in their professionalism and timeliness.

Their experience enables them to be a partner in the "choosing process" of framing a piece of art perfectly. We have never once regretted our framing choices when we have worked with them through the process."

 

Elise Grusendorf, Dec. '09

"Thank you Dan and Melissa for making our December so special.

You guys helped us select the perfect frames for our prints. The Rod Chase print receives so many compliments for all who see it.

I'm so glad you are in the neighborhood. ArtUSA will be my first stop when looking for something special."

 

Rick Plattsmier, Dec. '09

"Dan spent HOURS with us matching frames, matting, mouldings, etc. to a series of antique maps. They are all fantastic!

Our Great Room has taken on a whole new feel and warmth.

If you want the personal service that so many shops pride themselves on, this is definitely the place to go. And go again."

 

Terry La Borde, Sept. '09

"This is the best gallery in Austin! I have all my framing done here, and wouldn't go anywhere else. Dan and Melissa are simply the best! I get so many compliments on my Burmese tapestry that you all framed for me, as well as all the other pie...ces you've done for me. Thanks to both of you for always doing such superiour work!"

Pam McDonald, Sept. '09

The framing part of the gallery has the best selection of frames in town.The atmosphere is beyond friendly and helpful.They go out of their way to make the customer happy.Framing is fast and professional.
