Best Little Frame
Shop & Art Gallery
The Frame Shop has been open
22 months and has already branched into an art gallery and gift shop.
"We specialize in frames that will enhance your art, and
make a statement of their own," says owner Ruth Ann Hawkins.
"Whether you live in a farmhouse or a penthouse, there is a
selection of frames to suit your home perfectly. Conservation framing
is a specialty and is suggested for all valuable pieces of art."
The gallery recently hosted its first Yellow Bra Show &
Sale. Over 45 artists participated and the event was an overwhelming
success. Local businesses helped support the event with donations
of food, services, and gifts for the artists' prizes. The American
Cancer Society received the gallery's portion of the profits to help
benefit breast cancer research. The show will continue through October
"I have seen smiles on most peoples faces after viewing the
show," Ruth Ann says, recalling this quote from Pablo
Picasso. "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday
life."
"The Yellow Bra was a first in a series of theme inspired
shows," Ruth Ann reports. "The goal is to support the
arts in the community and encourage artists in the area to enrich our
lives through the creative diversity of art."
The Gift Shop features one-of-a-kind creations from local
artists. Items include jewelry, pendants, wearable art and
seasonable gifts.
Original art, gilcees, limited editions, photography, textile
art, posters, and pre-framed are available in the gallery. Jody
Whitsett is the Gallery Manager and Resident Artist.
Art related classes are planned for the future. Those who
would like to be on the mailing list for invitation to these events may

Best Little Frame Shop &
Art Gallery is located at 64 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah. Call
