Choosing whether to frame your painting comes down to structure, edge treatment, and depth. Gallery-wrapped canvases and cradled panels can stand on their own—just make sure the sides support the presentation. Thin profiles or side-stapled canvas often benefit from frames, from warm wood to clean metal. And when you want the edges visible, a floater frame keeps the focus on the work itself. Thoughtful presentation shapes how viewers experience your art. 🧑‍🎨 Presentation by Morgan from our Merc
