Beth,  a native of Sandy, Utah is the proud daughter of a frame shop owner and an artistic mother. As such, Beth has been around both art and framing her entire life and began working at her father’s frame shop at the age of 14 to earn money for college. While obtaining her Bachelor degree, Beth worked at Grey Goose Gallery in Salt Lake City selling artwork and designing framing for paintings by award winning Utah artist Robert Duncan. In 2005, Beth moved to Ann Arbor to pursue a Master of Music degree at the University of Michigan. She was hired by Pierre Paul Design in 2006 and began to work full time for Lee after graduating in 2007 as the Senior Event Coordinator. Lee saw Beth’s eye for design and detail, and gave her responsibilities merchandising the gallery. Beth loved this creative outlet and gradually began to hang entire exhibits, helped curate art for upcoming shows, and designed framing for the show’s artwork. Her dedication and talent lead her to becoming Gallery Manager in 2010. Beth is happy to be part of the Pierre Paul team and loves working with customers to find that perfect art and framing for their home or office. To contact Beth directly, call the gallery or email her at: beth@pierrepauldesign.com.

Matthew has truly enjoyed his custom picture framing career for over 25 years. Born in Toledo, Ohio, he received his first job as an apprentice framer at Deluxe Frame Shop right after graduating from Maumee High School. During the next 10 years, he honed his craft as in Toledo before moving with his wife to San Jose, California. There he was able to apply his framing skills working for some of the top shops in the area. In 2011, he decided to move his family back east to Ann Arbor so that his two boys could be closer to family and was hired at Pierre Paul Design as the Picture Framing Manager. He is a wonderful asset with his extensive experience framing items ranging from standards like prints and photographs to more exotic items. Favorite past projects include a full Kimono robe, Keith Richards’ twelve string guitar, and two gold medals won by the Canadian Olympic hockey team and one silver medal for the U.S.A. Olympic hockey team. Matthew loves framing and continuously keeps abreast of the latest framing and preservation methods to make sure his clients get the best service and information when framing their precious art and heirlooms. His goal is to create designs that will both enhance and preserve our customers’ artwork for years to come. View some of Matthew’s work by visiting Framing Projects on our website.
