Norton's Fine Art & Framing

Norton's Fine Art & Framing Custom Picture Framing & Fine Art - Serving the St. Louis area since 1949! Owned & Operated by the same St. Louis family for over 75 years.

Norton’s Fine Art & Framing has been owned and operated by the same service-oriented family since 1949. Ruth Norton was an interior decorator, and her husband, Cecil, an architect/engineer with Norton Company Designers. Together they created a business to merge their respective fields. From these roots, Norton’s has evolved into a unique custom, conservation framing focused gallery with three cert

ified picture framers. Doug, Mary, and their son, Ty, have endeavored to bring together the finest in artwork, creative, professional framing and caring customer service. Doug and Mary Norton are charter members of the Professional Picture Framers Association's (PPFA) Certified Picture Framer (CPF) Program. Ty Norton attained his CPF certification in 2020. There are less than 500 PPFA certified picture framers in the United States, and the Norton's are three of them. The gallery carries a wide variety of artwork, including original watercolors, paintings, lithographs, etchings, serigraphs, landscapes, historical maritime, sports, and St. Louis art, by regional as well as national and international artists.

“As certified picture framers, the gallery owners "package" art as beautifully as they display it. The gallery and frame shop was started in 1949 and remains a fixture in St. Louis more than a half- century later. Today, the second and third generations of Norton's run the gallery, with the purpose of bringing together the finest in artwork and creative framing. Each year, the gallery hosts three to four exhibits”. – DigitalCity
