History

Established in 1983.

Artistic Framing began when an established painter, horsewoman, and guitarist named Anita Royce saw a need for high quality, custom picture framing in the Spokane area. Since then, she has developed a regional reputation for professional framing of everything from simple photo collages to museum quality pieces. She is also highly skilled in heat-​pressing, stretching canvasses, restoration of antique paintings and frames and photos, decorative mat designs, and shadow-​box framing. With her loving husband, together they operate a computerized mat-​cutter, offer design choices in thousands of different designer frames and mat boards, and maintain close relations with their customers. Whistle Stop Gallery has a large display of quality framed limited edition prints at competitive prices in a cozy atmosphere. Anita now also hand-​makes unique handbags and other crafts.

Business Owner

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and love riding horses, performing shows as a guitarist in my blues band (The High Rollers), designing and making needlepoint artwork, making handmade crafts for my children, and traveling with my loving husband. I started my career in framing as a painter of acrylics, water color, oil, and pastels.
