Introduction to Frame Making

Coy Aballay is the founder of the framing workshop El Pez Enmarcado. Throughout her career, spanning more than a decade and a half, she's framed everything from paintings and prints to photographs and objects using 100% handmade, custom frames. Before getting into the framing business, Coy studied graphic design and photojournalism, which helped her develop a keen eye for her craft and find the perfect balance between the artwork and its frame.

Her clients include illustrators, photographers, artists, and people who simply enjoy small-format art and decoration. She collaborates with Galería Mar Dulce and has built frames for a variety of exhibitions there; she has also worked with the brand VER making both classic and light-up frames in a range of sizes for their locations.
