Christina joined Artists Frame Service having worked in framing, conservation labs, museum archives and auction houses for over a decade. Her background in art history (she's a particular expert on anything European Fine & Decorative arts-related) gives her a unique perspective on fine art framing. She also loves the conservation process and seeing artwork go from damaged and unsafe to archival, protected and stylish for years to come. 

Time spent living abroad in London, Rome and Australia has given her an appreciation for travel and immersion and different cultures. A huge fan of anything 1970s, when she's not framing you can find her on her gold velvet couch surrounded by a jungle of houseplants with a strong cup of tea (in fine porcelain of course)!

Alex moved to Chicago from Dallas, where he attended an arts magnet high school, in 2007 to study painting and drawing at the School Of The Art Institute. With a minor in film and video, he loves watching movies both old and new and can almost always remember that one actor’s name from that movie you can’t think of.

Though he’s been a full-time custom framer for over eight years, Alex still makes time to work on commissioned illustrations. 

When not immersed in the world of art and framing, he and his girlfriend enjoy long walks with their dog Mojo, making cut paper collages on the weekends and attending midnight horror-movie screenings at Logan theater.
