The care and customer service I experienced with Jackie and Chris was perfection! They both have extensive experience with design and fine art framing. Their input was invaluable! The selection of framing options and turn around time from consult to completion was above and beyond my expectation! Jackie and Chris's professionalism, knowledge and skill is unrivaled! Visions will forever be my Go-To shop for all my framing needs.

Have used Visions to restore and frame at least a dozen paintings and prints. Excellent service! Jackie is an expert at cleaning and restoring paintings. Virtually every painting I've bought has ended up in her shop. Chris can both create and repair frames. He took one 19th century work where the gesso frame had been crushed in shipment. He reassembled and rebuilt the decorated frame. Wonderful! They also have many beautiful works for sale. I highly recommend this business!!

I discovered Visions in Art when a client was in need of stretching and mounting a series of paintings that her recently deceased partner had painted throughout his lifetime. The condition of the paintings were from OK to creased, dirty and even mold. I can't believe what a wonderful job they did, the paintings turned out beautiful and became a very touching and loving tribute to the artist. Since then, I have been coming back with several of my own projects and have bought many fine pieces of art for my personal collection. I would highly recommend! They are knowledgeable, do a fantastic job, fast and fair priced! Please go there first before you go to any big retailer! Much broader selection and you can't compare the quality or craftsmanship!

We have been a client of Jackie since the early 1990s. She and her son Chris have done numerous projects for us over the course of many years, always with complete satisfaction. Jackie's many years in the framing business and experience with high-end decorators in Upland and in West Los Angeles as well as many years in San Diego County has given her many valuable insights that she draws upon when advising clients. This year we moved further away from her store but we still make that awful Highway 78 drive from Escondido to just to work with her. Recent projects, all completed on time and better than we expected included opening four high-end shadow boxes with prized Russian icons for the first time since 1974 and replacing the glass with the best quality museum glass. What a difference! We also took her a large framed batik that never had glass previously. It was faded considerably. Jackie suggested we flip it to the opposite side (like turning a faded Hawaiian shirt inside out) and adding museum glass. Again, we relied on her experience and recommendation, and on Chris' framing experience. We were again delighted. This week we took her an original storyboard from the 1944 film "Kismet". She had a marvelous suggestion for framing material and we again chose the museum glass (expensive but worth it). Picked it up yesterday thrilled with the result and can hardly wait to hang it in our great room. Some years ago I inadvertently bumped the gilded/gessoed frame of a 17th century Flemish painting on tin while vacuuming and sent it tumbling to the tile floor. I was flabbergasted at the damage to the frame (and wondered quietly if my aunt from whom it came would kill me!). But Chris did his magic and you cannot see the repair. Amazing expertise. When you choose a framer, several questions naturally arise: 1) Will they have framing material that I don't just "like" but love?; and 2) Will they have the expertise to help me choose an appropriate mat, if needed (and in inventory); and 3) Will they get the job completed when promised (and in a reasonable amount of time); and 4) Will I be treated well and listened to in the process?; and, finally, 5) Will I love the results. Our experience over a lot of years answers with a resounding "Yes" to each of the above questions. You can count on Visions in Art to become your BFF for all your framing needs. P.S. They also have lots of framed and unframed art for sale in the store. We just need more wall space (or less antique clocks)!

They do an excellent job, a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

I had the same experience as some of the others. I'm a working mother and I missed an appointment (who needs an appt these days to have a framing consultation?). The next time I came in she immediately started giving me a hard time about missing my appointment. I told her to forget it and went to Michaels in Vista. She followed me to my car attempting to apologize- "I would love to help" but I was so pissed I wasn't having it. I am so busy throughout the day I hadn't eaten a single thing by 5 pm, and she was giving me a hard time about missing a frame consult. Chris at michaels is so awesome! I had no issues getting exactly what I needed, no hassle, and fun!
