About
My adventure in the world of visual art and design started back in 1990 when I attended art school for photography. In 1991, I started out as a photo assistant for an Architectural and Interiors photographer based out of Philadelphia. Over the next 8 years we would do work for some of the largest design firms and major publications, Architectural Digest (twice), Interiors Magazine, Architectural Record, and more. I have a true love for design. In 1999, I relocated to Sonoma County, CA and started my own photography business that lasted 7 years. The city life was calling and I decided to shift gears completely. I wanted to pursue my other love of picture framing. I opened shop in 2007 in Oakland, CA and business continued to grow over the next 13 years....

The process started by them sending images of art they liked, with the understanding that these are just inspiration. From this we did a walk through of the home and selected sizes of art that would work well in those particular spaces. |
| | Abstract expressionist Craig Boretz uses color, form, and movement to describe emotions with passionate creativity in the spirit of de Kooning, Pollack, Kline, and Kandinsky. His perspective is simple, contrast and contradiction equal harmony. He sees things for their beauty and keeps the elements straightforward and direct with color and texture as the central themes. |
