MIRAGE ... visualized in the late 70's.

The first of nine locations ... was opened in Sausalito, California

A coastal sea-town ... minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge ... known for it's artisan crafts and spectacular San Francisco views.

Mirage Gallery & Framing first offered it's services to the public as a photographic art gallery

displaying local scenics, and providing interactive picture framing.

Mirage Gallery & Framing … was a unique concept.

It was a watch while you wait framing service, conveniently located

next door to a a California wine tasting room, to further enhance the adventure.

"Our goal was simple … make the entire art and frame experience fun

and offer only the best of quality materials for an affordable price."

Mirage Gallery & Framing … customers would pick their favorite artwork,

select their mat combinations, and decide on a picture frame style. 

In less than an hour ... their custom art piece was crafted before their eyes and boxed for their

travels back to their home town in … New York … Texas … Georgia ... or Rome !

In the 80's local artists ... and film studios took note of this efficient framing concept

and became our clients at Mirage Showroom.

Mirage Showroom was a visionary art gallery built with a passion for shapes and attention to detail.

Multi-level rooms with Italian marble floors … copper ceilings and interactive lighting

created the environment for monthly gala events

celebrating fine art creations.

"Regardless of the project size … our vision has always been focused on doing things right !"

The same year ... Mirage Designs was opened …

as a commercial picture framing and art packaging service.

Mirage Designs provided unique matting, framing and packaging materials

for artists wanting to resell their own reproductions & artworks at galleries, art-shows & retail shops.

"Simplicity in design became our reputation."
