Gina Canter Becomes Owner of LA Art Framing Business

Gina Canter stands on the sidewalk in front of Allan Jeffries Framing in Los Angeles, a storefront under a red roof and awning.

In a few short years, Gina Canter (BA ​’17) went from learning about great artists in University of Michigan art history classes to framing their paintings and prints. Gina currently runs three locations of Allan Jeffries Framing, a prominent art framing business in Los Angeles, where she’s able to combine her talent for design with her love of art. ​“Artists I learned about in class like Dali, Miro, and Picasso, I now get to work with on a everyday basis.” 

For Gina, framing completes a work of art. ​“A frame can complete a space in someone’s home while elevating and highlighting components in a painting. It’s really neat to see it all come together.” Gina encourages artists to frame their own work, and to ask their local frame store for an artist’s discount.
