Donna Riski does more than just frame your art, photographs and memories. She offers personal service.

Not only does she have a great selection but she has little overhead because she frames everything in a cottage on her private property. We met in BLAB and I stopped by her cottage to see what all the fuss was about. It’s adorable and so welcoming. I could have sipped coffee on the porch and watched the critters play in the woods all day.

Most of us probably go to Michael’s or JoAnn Fabrics for our framing needs because of all the coupons we hoard and it seems so darn cheap. Donna offers a less expensive price on framing and will deliver it to your doorstep! Does anyone at Michael’s or JoAnn’s even remember your name?

“Picture framing was something I often thought I might take up as a hobby someday after retirement, and then suddenly, after spending a small fortune to have something framed at a local frame shop, it occurred to me that I might be able to go into business doing affordable custom picture framing,” Donna said.

Donna attended the American Picture Framing Academy and officially opened Keystone Custom Picture Framing, Inc. in January of 2006. Donna said, “Of course I spent most of the first year learning all I could to master the craft which is really on ongoing process and only adds to the enjoyment.  I left the corporate world in 2007 and never looked back.”

She also offers appointments at the customer’s home or office and brings the samples to you. She’s available seven days a week to help and she always has a friendly smile.
