Behind the Frames: A Curator’s View

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since stepping away from my 9-to-5 and diving headfirst into framing and curating full-time, it’s that the magic always lies in the collaboration. At Lowe Mill, where creativity spills out of every corner, it feels like I’m constantly surrounded by inspiration. This month, that inspiration has taken shape in two distinct ways: curating a gallery reception for three incredible artists and showcasing the final week of Chris Wade’s Falling Through Space exhibition.

A Look Ahead: New Collaborations and Fresh Stories

Elizabet Castro, Yuri Ozaki, and Matt Bender are the featured artists for our next gallery reception, and I couldn’t be more excited about how their work comes together. Elizabet’s dynamic and emotional landscapes, Yuri’s serene and luminous Candlelight series, and Matt’s energetic Winter Wave prints create a visual dialogue that I can’t wait for people to experience.

Curating their work is a joy. It’s not just about framing the art (though I’m pretty biased about how much that matters); it’s about creating a space where people can stand in front of something and feel it. That’s the vibe we’re aiming for with this reception, and I hope you’ll stop by on January 25th to see for yourself.

This event also kicks off something I’ve been working toward for a while: an artist profile series. Each month, I’ll take a deeper dive into the lives and inspirations of the artists we feature, sharing their stories on the Remnant’ Framing’s Subtack and Youtube Channels. Huntsville is full of incredible creatives, and I can’t wait to shine a spotlight on their work.

A Fond Farewell: Falling Through Space

As we look forward, we’re also saying goodbye to one of the most evocative shows we’ve hosted—Chris Wade’s Falling Through Space. Chris has a way of pulling you into his pieces, balancing chaos and calm to create a feeling of floating between worlds. This show has been a highlight of the fall season at Lowe Mill, and I’ve loved seeing visitors pause in front of his work, letting it pull them into its orbit.

If you haven’t had a chance to see it—or if you’ve been thinking about coming back—this is your last opportunity. The gallery will be coming down at the end of the week, so stop by Remnant Framing before it’s gone.

Always Something New

Whether you’re joining us to celebrate the new reception or to catch Falling Through Space before it ends, I hope you’ll stop by. Lowe Mill has a way of surprising you every time you visit, and I like to think Remnant Framing plays a small part in that.

See you soon—and as always, keep an eye on what’s behind the frames.

The Stories Behind the Frames: A Documentary with Elizabet Castro

At Remnant Framing, we believe every piece of art has a story, and every frame is a chapter in that story. That belief came to life recently in a project with the incredible painter Elizabet Castro.

Elizabet’s work is more than beautiful—it’s deeply personal. Her paintings are a blend of cultures and experiences, influenced by her life in Uruguay, Korea, Mexico, and beyond. In her words, “Art is light, life, and imagination.” Through this documentary, we explored the moments that shaped her art: the clouds she observes every day, her connection to nature, and even a time she practiced Reiki to help a neighbor, which later inspired one of her paintings.

Her art speaks of gratitude, resilience, and the universal emotions we all share. Working with Elizabet to showcase her work and tell her story has been an honor. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do—to celebrate the creative process and the artists who make it possible.

Check out the documentary on [Link to Substack] and see how Elizabet’s world comes to life through her brush and our frames.

(2/2) Bark gilder Mary Helen O'Brien lays the leaf – in this case, a 16kt pale gold – over the bole. Then, the entire face of the frame – including the reeding – is burnished to a high shine with an agate burnisher (a variety of shapes are shown in the first slide). The gilding will be distressed with a light rub. After this, the gold is sealed, as this karat would tarnish over time. Finally, a light patina is added to the surface of the frame. Stay tuned next week for a look at the art in its final frame! #barkframeworks #woodshop #woodworking #dariushvaziri #burnishing #contemporaryart #woodowkring #gilding #burnishing #goldleaf #palegold #customframes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3ZYCwrKbf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Riding the South Swell: A Lowe Mill Perspective

Huntsville, Alabama is a city that makes you ask questions—not just of its newcomers, but of yourself. "Why are you here?" is a question that follows you around these parts, not with suspicion but with curiosity. In a city brimming with transplants, no two stories of arrival are alike, and every voice stands out. Mine—equal parts Valley Boy and ocean-drawn dreamer—feels like an artifact of another world.

I grew up with the rhythm of the Pacific shaping my days. There was something magnetic about the swells, the pull toward the horizon, the quiet power of the water. Here, in landlocked Alabama, the waves I track are different. The swell isn’t oceanic but cultural, an energy driven by ambition, migration, and reinvention.

The South is transforming. Its cities hum with the energy of a region that’s becoming a creative powerhouse, drawing restless spirits from every corner of the map. Art, music, and technology crash together here like waves in a storm. And in Huntsville, the tide of that change flows through Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, a place unlike any other.

Lowe Mill isn’t just a destination; it’s a portal. Walking through its halls is like stepping into a living, breathing art form. Music and laughter echo through the brick corridors; artists in every medium push their craft to new limits, and conversations spark collaboration like flint on steel. This place isn’t just a hub for art—it’s a crucible where ideas melt, mix, and forge something entirely new.

For me, Lowe Mill is where I found my footing as both a framer and a storyteller. My shop, Remnant Framing, lives here, surrounded by this torrent of creativity. Each day, I witness the South’s cultural swell: photographers capturing the soul of the region, painters reimagining landscapes, and makers transforming raw materials into something extraordinary. My job? To give their work the respect and structure it deserves—to frame not just art, but moments, emotions, and perspectives.

Lowe Mill reminds me that this swell isn’t fleeting; it’s a rising tide reshaping what it means to be an artist in America. And here in Huntsville, we’re not just riding it—we’re building it. From the heart of the Mill, I can see the horizon, and for the first time in years, it feels like the next wave is something we’re all creating together.

So if you’re reading this and wondering where to go next—what horizon to chase—know that the South’s doors are open. Here, in the unexpected heart of a region in flux, the waves are waiting. You just have to paddle out and catch one.

Follow for more stories, reflections, and glimpses into the life of a framer, creator, and proud participant in Huntsville’s rising tide. 🌊 #HuntsvilleArts #LoweMill #SouthernCreatives #RemnantFraming
