Jeannie Celata

One of my earliest memories is of an afternoon spent playing in the sunlight as it fell upon a quilt that my great grandmother had made. As I traced the designs, I marveled how the patterns and colors twisted around each other in harmony. The joy I felt that day is what I try to recapture each time I paint.

Primarily self-taught, the majority of my art education has come from working in galleries and frame shops. For over 20 years I have worked alongside dozens of artists of all ages and abilities with whom I have had countless discussions about technique, composition, materials, color and style. Many of the pieces of art we work on are the origin of these discussions. I am inspired and motivated by all the original and creative art that I see daily.

Currently living in Massachusetts with the support of my husband and two daughters, I try to paint every day. My paintings range from intimate still-lifes, to traditional landscapes, to sculptural abstracts. They can be found in private collections throughout the United States.

Kerry Gorton Evans

“I have been making paintings for as long as I can remember and have been a teacher of art to students of all ages for over three decades. I hold an ED.M from Harvard in Art Education and an MAT from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/Tufts University. I have taught in public and private schools, museums and art centers throughout New England, including The DeCordova Museum, The Danforth Museum School, the Andover Public Schools, Beaver Country Day School and The Riverbend School. My work can be seen in exhibits and shows in and around the Boston area as well as around the country. I am also a registered yoga teacher and live in Medfield with my two teenage sons where I enjoy teaching yoga to adults, art to children, and painting the beautiful landscape that surrounds my home.”

Liliana Glenn — A Glass and Metal Artisan

“I wasn’t born with the gift of creating; I have cultivated and nourished it throughout my life while surrounded by patient, talented and beautiful teachers starting with my grandmothers. One of the great pleasures in my life has been sharing my knowledge, skills and the objects I create with my publics whose sense of wonder and enthusiasm fuel me enormously.

“Sometimes a design can take months or even years as I approach it not only from an esthetic standpoint but also that of wearability and comfort.”

Liliana’s art includes colorful rings, statement necklaces, earrings, beads and pendants, flowering vases, and more.

Small Works of Art: Sometimes a Small Painting Is Just Right

20% off select works of art through Saturday, September 26.

A work of art doesn’t need to be large to make an impression.

Small paintings can bring color to a quiet corner, complete a collection, add interest to a bookshelf or tabletop, or find a place on a wall where something larger simply wouldn’t work.

And sometimes, you don’t need to know where a painting will go. You simply discover something you love.

That’s part of the pleasure behind the Small Picture Sale at Page Waterman Gallery & Framing, featuring 20% off select works of art through Saturday, September 26.

Here are just some of the works waiting to be discovered.

Modern Minimalist Framing Ideas That Let the Art Shine

Custom Framing, Fine Art / pagewaterman

Modern Framing Ideas for a Fresh Look

As part of our spring refresh here at Page Waterman Gallery & Framing, we’ve been exploring several new framing styles that offer a clean, modern look while allowing the artwork itself to take center stage.

In this video, Ryan Black, artist and custom framing expert, shares a few examples of recent projects that highlight minimalist framing techniques and creative ways to display artwork.

Thin Frames That Make a Big Impact

One of the framing styles Ryan highlights features a sleek line of thin-profile metal frames from Omega. These frames use a metal structure with a veneer finish, allowing for an ultra-thin profile that still provides strength and stability.

This approach is especially effective when paired with wide matting. The result is a refined, contemporary presentation that adds only the slightest edge around the artwork — creating a soft, elegant look that doesn’t compete with the piece itself.

Minimalist framing has become increasingly popular because it complements both contemporary and traditional artwork while keeping the overall presentation light and modern.

Floating Artwork for a Modern Presentation

Another example featured in the video includes oil paintings by Betty Ball, displayed using a floating-style presentation.

These pieces are mounted on linen backing and set deep within the frame using spacers. The result mimics the appearance of a traditional floater frame while maintaining a crisp, defined edge.

Because the artwork is mounted securely within the frame, glass is not required — allowing the texture and color of the paint surface to remain fully visible.

Floating artwork techniques like this create a sense of depth and visual interest while maintaining a clean, contemporary feel.

Why Framing Style Matters

The right frame does more than protect artwork — it shapes how the piece is experienced.

Minimalist framing styles can:

Create a clean, contemporary look
Highlight the artwork rather than overpower it
Work beautifully with wide matting
Add visual structure without heaviness
Complement both modern and traditional interiors

Whether you’re framing a painting, print, or cherished artwork, exploring different frame styles can dramatically change how the piece feels in your space.

Visit the Gallery to See These Designs

We invite you to visit Page Waterman Gallery & Framing in South Natick to see these modern framing styles in person.

Seeing the materials, proportions, and craftsmanship up close is the best way to understand how framing choices can transform artwork.

If you have artwork you’ve been thinking about framing — or simply want to explore new ideas — we’d be happy to help.

Bright Spring Art Arrives at Page Waterman Gallery

Art, Art and Framing Gallery, Fine Art, Natick / pagewaterman

In this short video, Sturdy Waterman shares several recent arrivals, including a vibrant monoprint titled Multi Lotus by Jane Cooper. With its rich color and touches of silver leaf, the piece captures a sense of movement and light that feels perfectly in step with early spring.

Here at Page Waterman Gallery & Framing in South Natick, we’ve begun to see that shift take place in the gallery — with a new selection of artwork that feels bright, cheerful, and full of energy for the season ahead.

Also featured are a series of Cooper’s more meditative works — inspired by balanced stone forms often seen along hiking trails. These pieces offer a quieter, more contemplative perspective, while still carrying a strong visual presence. Displayed individually or as pairs, they bring both balance and interest to a space.

In addition, we’ve added a group of small oil-on-paper paintings in a 5″ x 7″ format. These smaller works are ideal for tabletops, bookshelves, or adding a thoughtful accent to a room — a simple way to introduce color and life after the winter months.

Together, these new arrivals reflect a shift in season and mood — from stillness to energy, from muted tones to color and light.
