Striving Artists Framing and Art Services

Boris has impeccable taste and a wonderful eye for design. I brought my pictures with old frames here as I needed to update them from my recent family room renovation. They now look like totally different pictures and are a wonderful addition to the renovated rooms. I now will not be going anywhere else with my artwork.

What can I say about this team of true professionals? I brought the team at Striving Artists several vintage posters that needed just the right touch. Boy did they deliver ! Marina, Jay and of course Boris were incomparable to any other place I have been to. Quality, professionalism, good taste, high knowledge and super friendly are all the adjectives that come to mind about Striving Artists ! Do go there ! A plus plus PLUS!

Boris the owner is my new best friend, he is the true homie. The whole team is incredible! I brought them 15 canvas to be stretched and the gave me so much attention to detail and a great price! They hooked me up with quality frame work for an affordable price as well. I used to be an art dealer for a very high end gallery, so I can confidently say that Boris knows he stuff. He used to work for the auction houses and his wealth of knowledge is unmatched. Not to mention his cheeky wit and wonderful demeanor, I genuinely enjoy hanging out with these guys! Five stars all the way!

I have known this place for about 2 decades, maybe more.
I’m an artist myself and use a number of Striving Artists services.
Boris is like this wise man that everyone needs in their life to give you a couple words of advice from time to time. He gets you thinking on how you approach things. and realigns the stars for you.
Looking at some of the work he has done, like printing on wood, and other high end fine art work, you can be rest assured you’re work is in good hands. The framing is beautiful and I like the canvas print/​stretching they do.
Boris, his wife and Jay each, always making sure things are in order at each step of the way.
They have some of the best frames I have seen, and I used to work in framing when in college. It not only having good frames, its also having the eye to make a piece of your art the best representation it can have.
Bottom line is that they do great work at down to earth prices, and have solidified themselves as a needed part of the community by clients and fellow artists.
Thanks Striving Artists!

Picked up some prints on vacation in DC. Boris guided me through the process and patiently allowed my to make my own choices. He suggested I frame the artwork on the style of the era it was created. And he was spot on. All seven pieces came out great. The attention to detail and experienced hand was evident. I’m very happy with the result and will certainly return with another stack.

Yet another success story. Recently, I brought a beautiful embroidery to the Striving Artist Framing and Art Services shop. They knew before I did what was going to be the best frame solution for my embroidery. The execution was great, the quality of their framing is excellent. The artistic insight into what I wanted was exceptional. I will not hesitate to recommend their services to those with highly discernable tastes.

My husband is a fine artist (painter and photographer). We do several gallery events a year and we have used Striving Artists exclusively for all framing and print-​making for at least 10 years. They are so professional, creative and accommodating. They take the time to work with us and offer suggestions. They have a huge selection of frames, mattes and fillets, and the pricing is always reasonable. Boris and his staff are all professional, helpful and creative. We have always had a great experience and impeccable results. This is one of those «special finds» kind of places tucked far into the valley. Worth the trip!

thank you Boris & Jay, You really helped me out with my up coming gallery presentation, I know how busy it can get and with clients needing the work done now!!! So thanks so much for squeezing me in. Great quality on the finished products, the framing of my painting & the photo print. I got other showings in «16 I’ll be back…

Went to this shop based on Unilocal reviews and am super-​happy with results. Boris and Marina have great taste and do impeccable work. They are willing to take the time to make sure the frame fits the art, in our case for a variety of media: acrylic painting, original oil, print, engraving, watercolor. We’ve had 6 pieces framed (or re-​framed) in the past couple of months, and each one exceeded expectations. Highly recommend for quality and turnaround time.

My friend recommended Striving artists and Boris to me and I am forever grateful. He helped me decide on two pictures I had and when I went back to pick them up I was even happier than I could imagine. Great service and great craftsmanship.

My dog passed away and I wanted a shadow box for a picture and his collar. The man who helped us was incredibly respectful and compassionate through the whole thing. The frame and interior color were exactly what I wanted and I got «museum quality glass» which basically means you can’t see the glass at all; even when your face is an inch from the glass. Really amazing stuff. They offered suggestions, but allowed us to make all the decisions. Can’t ask for anything more. Will come back for wedding photo frames, etc. 5 stars for QUALITY, KNOWLEDGE, and CUSTOMER SERVICE.

The best service and quality! I took a total of 5 paintings to frame. One of them was a canvas and I had it stretched. The others were all framed including an original Andy Warhol painting. Boris and his wife were so friendly they made me feel like family. Jay was extremely knowledgable and helped me pick the perfect frame for each of my paintings.

I found Striving Artists Framing on Unilocal when I was looking for someone to frame a baseball jersey for my dad’s Christmas present. They gave me so many options and really walked me through the whole process to see exactly what I wanted. They did such an amazing job. I’ll never go anywhere else for framing.

Wonderful craftsmanship with quality and customer service is like being part of a family.

I was trying to figure out how I could complete a project I was working on. I took a picture of my son every month after he was born, and wanted to figure a way to showcase each picture at his first bday party and then have a way to frame them after. I was driving around looking at frame stores, looking online etc. I thought it was a long shot, but decided to search custom frame places and found Striving Artists. I spoke to Jay (pretty sure that was his name) who said he had an idea on how to do it. I went in, took all the pics and he custom made a matte with a custom stand to show at his party that would double as the matting for a cuatom frame after. It came out BEAUTFUL. Thanks so much Striving Artists and Jay!

I recently got a few pieces framed at Striving Artists. Boris and Jay were extremely friendly, patient, and helpful. The finished products were great!

Boris is a master of his trade, he know what to do and how to get it done when you want it. If it can’t walk away he can frame it for you!

Boris did a fabulous job on an article that I got framed for my boss. We cut it up and it was three dimensional and it came out awesome.

This review is long overdue.
Striving Artists do excellent work! They have even gone out of their way to reframe something when it did not come out the way I had expected it to (no fault of their’s).
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Jay is the main person I have dealt with. He is professional and knowledgeable. They have framed both original works of art as well as lesser valued pieces. If you want quality framing for a fair price and good customer service, this is the place to go.

stopped by this spot after hearing about it from an artist i like and he had recommended this spot for framing art. located off Topanga Canyon and Plummer, this spot is nestled in an area of office buildings, so it can be easy to miss if you’re not paying atttention. the parking lot is small, but i’ve never found it difficult to find an open spot.
upon entering, you’re immediately surrounded by gorgeous frames… from the simple wooden frames to more ornate molded frames with curvy edges, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for! i loved their selection and liked the intricate designs of some of the more decorative frames. i ended up bringing an art print i’d acquired at a recent art gallery show and had Boris (the owner) work his magic. i dropped the artist’s name and was able to get a decent discount with the frame, fabric matte, and glass that i’d selected… but be prepared to spend in the range of $ 200-​$ 300 if you want something amazing.
after a few weeks, i received a call that my print was framed and ready. when i arrived, the matte was the wrong color and there must have been some mistake during the selection process, which was a big disappointment… but they were able to correct the mistake by the next day. the finished product was amazing and exceeded my expectations. definitely a good place to go to and worth the drive if you want a frame that adds even more ‘wow’ factor to your art!
