The whole team was fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with the results for my grandmas artwork!

We bought a watercolor and an oil in Italy this year and took them straight to Aum. Both came back better than we imagined. The design studio consultation is the reason we keep going back. The staff know materials, proportion, and color, and they explain the trade-offs instead of just handing you a catalog. The double mat on the watercolor and the depth on the oil were their calls, and both were right. We have used Aum on several pieces now and will continue to. If you have art worth framing properly, start here.

Outstanding! Professional, detail-oriented, exceptional service. Won't go anywhere else.

This is the second project I have taken for framing to AUM. The workmanship is beautiful. It was a pleasure to do business with them. I believe they have been in business for 30+ years. 😊

Excellent customer service and quality. I had 3 prints from Bhutan and plenty of time was spent picking out the right combo. We got it right- not cheap, but well worth the extra $ for the quality.

Google

Superb service and work. We came in with a treasured piece and minimal experience with framing. Jeff made a framing recommendation that complimented our artwork in a masterful way. The whole team is fantastic.

Worked with Jeff and Gloria twice to frame four items. Custom frames are always more expensive than off the shelf but the experiences have been very creative and positive. I am so glad I worked with them and proud of the frames they frames the gave my art. The end products are 10/10, complimenting and enhancing the art/posters. I’ll absolutely consider them again in the future.

I have had several pieces framed at AUM over the years, and I always go back because their work is outstanding. From helping me choose the best design (most recently we went in a totally different direction than I had planned and the result is far better than what I had imagined) to the quality of the product (I've done smaller products at Michael's and the difference is night and day) I know I'll get a piece of art that will last. I pay more, but it's absolutely worth it.

I had a family heirloom painting reframed and it made all the difference in the world! The suggestions from the team were terrific and not at all what I would have picked on my own. The painting is now proudly displayed in our home.

We had a large serigraph framed here and they were wonderful to work with, picking out the mat and frame to compliment the piece. Of course they have museum glass so it's not reflective. Highly recommend this group!

This is not my first time using AUM Framing. The reason I return is that the staff -- in this case, Jeff -- takes tremendous care in working with me to match the frame with the art work involved. The goal is to create a total work of art through enhancing the art work with the chosen frame, something that takes time and appreciation. I highly recommend the expertise and sensitivity of the framers at AUM.

AUM Framing is done so professionally and with such kindness and consideration. We would absolutely use them again for any future framing needs. They went above and beyond!

AUM Framing quickly handled a last minute request for me. They're very kind, quick and professional. Highly recommend them!!

I am thrilled to have found this little gem of a local shop. They have a solid selection of frames and everyone seems quite knowledgable. The best part of my experience - in addition to my newly framed treasures - has been working with Kim! She is fantastic to work with, friendly, helpful, creative in her approach and solutions to what I have been trying to accomplish. I will definitely return.

We are thrilled with both the selection of frames and the craftsmanship! We had two mirrors made and framed and could not be happier with the outcome. I would patronize this gallery/frame shop again and again. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Great experience and job well done. Very knowledgeable and professional folks. My new go to for important framing projects.

I have 2 martial arts certificates that took me 20 years to get. I wanted something special so I brought them to Aum in Denver to have them framed. They helped me choose the perfect frame and executed it flawlessly. It's beautiful and I couldn't be happier.

AUM carefully designed a perfect frame for my print. The job was done ahead of time.

AUM is the best of the best when it comes to art framing, both in terms of the best in materials and frame choices, as well as the expertise to frame artwork in the best way possible to show off its beauty. Every one we met at AUM was welcoming and professional. We worked with Jeffrey Protsman, lead designer and master framer, who was both educational and fun to work with. We would highly recommend Jeffrey and AUM for anyone looking for a top quality framing job on their most treasured pieces of art.

If you want quality and professional framing, look no further than AUM Framing. I have been using them to frame my cherished artwork for over 25 years and have always been impressed with their workmanship. Specifically, I have dealt with Jeff and Gloria. They always give their knowledgeable insight and opinion on making my artwork look it's best. I love what they do and will keep coming back!

Great place, great team, great service, great work!!!

At AUM I received the best help and service anywhere, and I have had artwork framed throughout the US and Europe. The staff was not only helpful, they were professional, expert, kind, knowledgeable, and personable. My beautifully framed prints are a daily delight. The entire experience was so enjoyable; could I please come in again and just hang out with the wonderful staff. Thank you all. - Appreciatively, Sandy Smith

From beginning to end, the team at AUM was great. Framing can be an expensive endeavor, and they helped match our design goals with our budget. We are thrilled with our piece and will return for the next project.

Your artwork is in good hands when you leave it with AUM Framing and Gallery! We worked with Jeff and he did a phenomenal job.

Shoutout to Kim for her knowledge and expertise. She went above and beyond in giving me information about my framing options and pricing. What I got in return was my poster dry-mounted in a beautiful, slick frame! I don't know if I'll ever be able to return to cheap framing again. Thank you Kim & AUM Framing.

We worked with Jeff to frame up two old and delicate mining maps. He walked us through design options and provided useful guidance on the way to finding the right arrangement. My wife and I love the outcome -- the pieces have transformed our living room! Would gladly recommend the folks at AUM.

Jeff and the rest of the team are very passionate in the work they do. They have a special eye in bringing out the special things about your artwork that you are framing. The team is undeniably kind, humble, experienced, and genuinely invested in the work they do. Hands down best people in the business!!

This was my second time framing with AUM, and both experiences were absolutely fantastic. On both occasions, they spent as much time as needed to help me design and choose the perfect frames for my pieces. Their expertise is incredible and the finished products are amazing! I will be back again and again!

Google

They did an amazing job! Couldn’t imagine a more perfect frame… I got a canvas print stretched and framed with museum glass. For those that haven’t had custom framing before, just a heads up, think thousands not hundreds $$$

My wife and I brought in an art print and several photo prints to be framed, and the experience could not have been better. We worked with Gloria on everything and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable- we picked out custom frames, mats, colors, sizes, and glass for all of our projects. The attention to detail, professionalism, and service were all over the top. Once the projects were completed, we noticed that the art print didn't lay totally flat under the glass and upon inquiring about some solutions for it with Trevor (the owner), he asked us to bring the print/frame back in and they had it re-mounted using a different method and looking perfect within just a day or two at no cost. I could not recommend AUM enough for all of your custom framing needs. They will take great care of you!

Very professional, great job framing a 3 foot photo. Would definitely recommend

Jeffrey did an amazing job designing the frame for our ketubah and we could not be happier with how it turned out! The impeccable care and attention to detail really shows in the final product.

Recently had a couple things framed and it was and is always a great experience! David helped me to pick out the best matting & frame choices for the artwork I brought in. They always do a great job and my items were finished before the expected time frame which was nice. I would recommend AUM to anyone wanting quality framing for any type of photo or artwork you need.

Simply the best framing experience imaginable. Jeff is always a delight to work with in finding the best frame for each piece. The creativity, skill, care and talent of Aum has made me a customer for life. Really, Aum is the very, very best.

Words cannot express how overjoyed I am with the team at AUM. The entire team is friendly, everyone is a master at their craft, and they keep their promises on the work they deliver. If you need frame restoration work this is the ONLY shop you should consider. Do not hesitate to take all manners of work to AUM - expert service, expert work, period.

AUM people and services are extraordinary. I felt as if I had walked into a group of friends I hadn't know about. Their enthusiasm and love for their work gave me every confidence. The results on my antique photographs and frames could not have been more beautiful.

I have worked with three different designers and they have all been excellent! I never start out knowing what I want, and they skillfully and patiently work with me until it's exactly what I want. Finished pieces are expertly created and of the highest quality. This is the only shop I will go to for framing.

Incredible detail was taken with my multiple framing jobs. Couldn't have been more pleased.

Extremely knowledgeable staff and great personal service. I was delighted to find a framer of this quality.

The only thing better than their quality of work is their customer service! If your standard is excellence they're worth every penny!

Very Professional and know what they are doing. Gloria was great to work with and our newly framed print looks fabulous.

Nikki was fabulous. We brought in three pieces for framing, and she quickly pulled a few appropriate options from their vast wall of frame samples. We were asked a few targeted questions about our preferences, and Nikki took it from there. While I did initially have sticker shock from the quote, I appreciated the transparency, and the superb quality is clear in the final product.

These guys are truly phenomenal! Jeff helped me out with four separate prints and he did not disappoint! As an artist myself; watching him work his magic as he ran around the room picking out incredible frames really made me feel that this place was the right choice! I'll definitely be going back for my own art next time!
