Linnie Brown's work feels like a visual map of personal development, blending architectural fragments and memories into a single, cohesive moment.

'Stacks of Broken Days' is a stunning exploration of how we navigate our past. The vibrant pops of magenta against structured, floorplan-like shapes create a spatial depth that keeps you looking longer, uncovering new details with every glance. It is the perfect anchor for a structured architectural space or a focused home office.

There is a unique magic that happens when a cherished memory meets the right frame. At LaFontsee Galleries & Framing, we believe that a frame is far more than just a border. It is a hand-crafted work of art designed to protect, preserve, and celebrate your most significant moments or pieces of art.

Watching our sales and frame studio teams collaborate is one of our favorite parts of the day. Every detail matters when we are helping a client find the perfect solution for a family photo. From long-awaited graduation portraits to timeless wedding photos, we strive to exceed client expectations one masterpiece at a time. Our expert designers and craftspeople work in tandem to ensure the final result is as beautiful as the memory it holds. We treat every project with the same care and precision as the fine art in our collection.
