Michael Chelstowski - Google 5-Star Review

Was very pleased with the custom double framed outcome for an original piece I brought into Ross Studios. The level of care, time taken and professionalism was much appreciated. Upon Mr. Ross receiving the custom ordered walnut wood from his supplier for the outer frame, he immediately returned the wood due to not stacking up to his quality expectation for his frames. This is rare to find these days. After getting the next shipment of beautiful walnut, the piece was completed and I could not be happier. I will be sure to take any items we need framed to Mr. Ross in the future at his new location. Thank you, and you do high quality work, for a fair price. I highly recommend this business.

Honest, affordable, and knowledgeable, and stays in contact with you.
If you're an artist yourself of ANY degree Mr Ross is very encouraging. He specializes in art as well as framing and it definitely shows. His clients include overseas artists ones as well. Your first impression of him and his shop is impressive! Again...He does a bang up good job, he definitely a bunch about what to do with what you bring him.

Extraordinary customer service and a very talented and creative artisan. He patiently and helpfully worked with us to find the exact frames and materials to really complement our valued art. Not only is Ross a vanishing breed of craftsmen but also a genuinely nice guy. I would recommend he and his shop without hesitation. Certainly he should be featured in the Best of Colorado Springs!

I was able to meet, and see Ross studios when my best friend hired him to frame her cross stitch art pieces. Ross was absolutely wonderful, professional and just so kind. I saw her work prior to it being framed, and the frames they chose, and the glass he used, gives it a completely new “finish”. I knew her work was art, before, but now it has a professional finish!

walked in and he worked with me to find something totally custom within my price range. the piece came out great. would highly recommend Ross studios.

Update- went back to Ross Studios about a year after my first experience. wanted my college diploma framed- Everything came out fabulous, as the first time. Worth the drive to the new location. if you have anything important to frame you can trust it being done right.

I am extremely happy with Ross's work with framing 4 of my cross stitch projects! He made me feel like a real artist and was very complimentary and professional; his eye for color and textures is incredible, and the results were more than I could have anticipated!

I brought in 4 finished projects, and he dove right in. He seemed to really understand the tone and mood of each piece, and got to work right away piecing together various texture and style frame, accents, and colors for the matting. He then encouraged me to go home and "sign" my work, as it would likely be heirloom quality work and passed down. I did that but forgot to come back right away. Once I did come to drop off my work, he had them finished so quickly; I was stunned and very impressed!

The big reveal in his studio left me giddy and proud of the finished projects. I love his quality of work and skill with making sure every element is just right in the finished product! I will absolutely return and bring him more of my finished pieces to be framed, as well as another one I already had framed elsewhere, but really would like for him to re-do, because I know he can really make it an amazing finished piece.

Tyler Cornelius - Google 5-Star Review

We moved to Colorado Springs not too long ago, and this was the first time we needed a piece framed, so we went out looking for a good frame shop. I read reviews here first, and wanted a place that: 1) had talented staff, who could help me with color options, design ideas, etc. 2) was a local business and not a big impersonal chain, and 3) would not charge an arm and a leg, and work within my budget. Ross exceeded my expectations on all three areas. He took on my time-rushed framing project despite being busy. He helped us find a beautiful frame with the cost options that worked for us. He was a great conversationalist, a clear communicator, and he was honest and trustworthy. Come here with confidence.

Review & Testimonial from Mary Barry

"The exceptional professionalism and expertise is more than a 5 star! We are so fortunate to have Ross Studios here in Colorado Springs. I had 3 very old and precious photos framed and I usually go to Denver....NO MORE. Ross did an amazing job and I couldn't be more satisfied. He has a great eye and was helpful in choosing the matting and frames. All three pieces or art will stay in our family for a very long time."  --Mary Barry
