About Us

At Matisse Framing we strive to be innovative and creative by designing frames for your artworks and treasures that have that ‘Wow‘ factor. Our craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. We know that items framed by our studio will cause people to stop and look and continually admire. Our aim is framing for life and our guarantee is assured because we use only quality materials and proven framing methods.

This family owned business was established over 21 years ago by Donna & Ian Lauder. Ian, a qualified framer, has seen many changes in the framing profession in the last two decades and attributes much of the success of the business to his passion for and knowledge of advanced framing methodology. The result is that many Matisse Framing customers continually return to have more items framed.


Matisse Framing have been at its present location since October 1989. All framing is done on site using quality materials. We offer personalised service and our creative consultants can show you alternative ways of framing. We encourage our customers to view our photographic portfolio of creative framing. With our knowledge, skills and experience we believe we can show you various ways to enhance whatever you wish to frame. Our speciality is framing your artwork with care and personal attention. Our customer database allows us to retrieve framing records going back to 1992. Our customers include individuals, businesses, corporate and government organisations not only from Brisbane, but statewide and interstate.
