The Artisan by Cathee

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Cathee for over twenty years as a loyal client both personally and professionally. Her craftsmanship and eye for creative design is second to none in her field. My home and my corporate offices are adorned with many pieces that are unique and beautiful thanks to Cathee. Perhaps one her finest efforts is one I have the pleasure of looking at every day. Cathee restored a priceless collection of over 400 signatures of athletes (loving called "The Board"); a piece that originated in The House of Serfas in the late 1950"s. As the legend goes, The House of Serfas was the first sports bar and restaurant in Los Angeles. Five feet high by eight feet long - and really beginning to dangerously show it's age, Cathee restored it to safely endure the next 50 years - and beautified it beyond our expectations. I have been blessed to have Cathee in my life!

"We have nothing but total praise for Cathee's work. It isn't that often, and in fact it's rare that you find someone who is totally involved not only in their work, but also in yours. That's exactly what one would wish for when it comes to putting a treasured piece of art or a photograph into the perfect frame or mounting. Her vision and creativity has helped us to fill our home with personal treasures that bring complimenmts over and over again each time we have new visitors. Everything is original. Everything is highly creative, and everything is perfect!"

"Good framing preserves and protects your art - GREAT framing enhances it and makes it special. Cathee has been bringing her special magic and creativity to our art, treasures, family photos, and collectibles for over 20 years now. Each time we bring something to her our expectations are not just met BUT exceeeded. If you love your art, you will love her framing."

"Cathee Posin has been my framer since I started my photography business in 2002. Having no formal art or photography degree, I've always relied on her excellent artistic sense to come up with the best way of showcasing my images. Her limitless knowledge in displaying artwork, framing techniques and excellent command of color schemes, makes her a great framing consultant. She's easy to work with, can work within a budget and has never been late in any promised project completion date."

"I am a vintage sports colleector and I specialize in vintage ephemera. Cathee has been framing my items for the last 15 years and so far I have over 100 items framed by her. Cathee is the ONLY person I would ever trust with my collection."

"Cathee Posin is more than a framer of art. She sees the potential that a frame does for the work at hand and creates an enhanced art piece that becomes part of the whole. She also has designed Plexiglass cases to safely store and display antique Torah covers, made special frames and/or covers for precious photographs, antiques, and art painted on glass. I have never found her equal in the more than forty years I have wored as an artist."

"We have had the distinct pleasure of working with Cathee of The Artisan for almost fifteen years. She has framed everything in our homes and our pediatric dental office,during that time and we have been pleased with every new piece she has designed. The most unusual framing she did for us when we moved to our new condo here in Irvine about five years ago. I asked Cathee to design a double beveled mirror for over our fireplace to to incorporate an accent fabric that I wanted to use in that room. She chose the perfect frame and wrapped the fabric as an inside frame; it was perfectly proportioned and was just exactly what I hoped it would be! It is a lovely focal point in our family room. She has designed several framed plexiboxes for the office and each one is just right! Last year we bought an unusual black and white photograph in Italy. Cathee suggested a new frame she had just acquired that week; the finished piec we PERFECT for our entry. I LOVE IT! We look forward to working with Cathee for many more years to come."

She is a pro at what she does as well as a very nice person to do business with. I would hightly recommend her!"
