If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
Being as honest as we can be. There are times when it comes down to two choices of frame designs and the customer relies on our expertise to help them make a decision. If one design is more expensive than the other, we will always choose what is best for the art, even if it’s the less expensive.
Jason’s love of making things began early. From Lego creations in kindergarten to sketching comic book heroes, he was always building and imagining. Visits to the Nelson-Atkins Museum opened his eyes to fine art, and by high school, he was adding woodworking to his skillset. After graduating from Park Hill High School in 1992, Jason started in business administration at Missouri Western State College before switching to fine art and transferring to Park University, graduating in 1999.
