Arts makes a distinction

MT EVELYN’S framing business Art With Distinction has had a facelift.
Since taking over, new owner Steve Deakins has changed the decor and image of the business, including the introduction of a photographic studio operated by JJ’s Photography.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly and Steve said that Art With Distinction is committed to five-star customer service and satisfaction.
“Art With Distinction still offers all existing services including custom framing of paintings and artwork, needlework, memorabilia, medals and certificates,” he said.
“Whatever you want framed, bring it in and it will be expertly done.”
New services include canvas prints from personal image files or photos, block mounting, wedding bouquets dried and framed, and a range of ready made budget photo frames.
The business also caters for artists’ needs, supplying paints, brushes, canvases, pastels and paper to name a few.
The shop at 7b York Road, is open Monday to Friday 9am-5.30pm, Saturday 10am-2pm and by appointment on Sundays.
JJ’s Photography has opened a studio within the premises of Art With Distinction.
Glamour portraits are a speciality, incorporating hair and make-up by a professional make-up artist.
Photographer Judy James provides photographic services including family portraits, pregnancy, newborns, corporate, product and property photography as well as innovative wedding photography and custom designed albums.
Judy believes in working closely with bridal couples to ensure their wishes are met to provide a treasured reflection of their special day.
Images can be purchased on DVD or printed with metallic, gloss, or matt finish or on canvas at very competitive prices.
JJ’s also provides a service for scanning, repair and restoration of negatives or prints.
