About Us
Our Mission
I’m David Visi — founder of Art Impressions, Fine Art and Custom Framing. I’ve been doing this for thirty-five years. Thirteen years in Irving, and the rest right here in Colleyville, where we’ve built a reputation one masterpiece at a time. You’ll find us in the Colleyville Town Center at 5509 Colleyville Boulevard, Suite 230.
What do we do? Simple: we deliver custom art and picture framing with the kind of precision and craftsmanship you just don’t see anymore. No shortcuts. No “good enough.” Just top-tier quality that makes your art — and your walls — look good.
Purpose
Our Vision
When you’re preserving something that matters — a moment, a memory, a masterpiece — “good enough” is an insult. That’s why our mission is dead simple: deliver museum-quality work that outlives trends, time, and even us. Every frame, every corner joint, every hand-finished detail is crafted with the kind of obsessive care usually reserved for priceless artifacts. Because your art and memorabilia aren’t just objects… they’re anchors to the life you’ve lived. Our job is to protect them, elevate them, and make sure they’ll still be stunning long after we’re gone.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which frame style is right for my artwork?
Choosing the right frame depends on the artwork’s era, colors, texture, and emotional tone. A professional framer will guide you through options that complement the art without overpowering it, making sure the piece looks balanced, intentional, and visually striking in your space.
Is museum glass worth the extra cost?
Yes — if you care about long-term preservation. Museum glass offers the highest clarity and 99% UV protection. It prevents fading, reduces glare, and keeps your art looking sharp decades longer than standard glass.
Can you frame valuable or irreplaceable pieces safely?
Absolutely. Professional framers use conservation-grade materials, acid-free backing, and reversible mounting techniques to protect the artwork. Nothing is glued or applied in a way that damages the piece.
How long does it take to complete a custom frame or shadow box?
Most custom jobs take 2–4 weeks, depending on materials and complexity. Shadow boxes with multiple items or custom layouts may take slightly longer. A reputable shop will give you a clear timeline upfront.
What kind of items can go inside a shadow box?
Just about anything meaningful: military medals, jerseys, musical instruments, baby items, awards, collectibles, flags, photos, even wedding bouquets. If it matters to you, a custom shadow box can display it safely and beautifully.
How is artwork protected from fading or damage over time?
Protection comes from UV-filtering glass, acid-free mats, moisture-resistant backing, and proper spacing so the artwork doesn’t touch the glazing. These conservation methods significantly extend the life of your piece.
What if my artwork is oddly sized or unusually shaped?
Custom framing is made for exactly that problem. Every frame, mat, and mount is cut to fit your piece precisely — no size is too unusual. This is where a skilled framer truly shines.
Can you match the frame to my home or office décor?
Yes. A good framer will consider your style — modern, rustic, minimalist, traditional — and recommend frame profiles and colors that tie the art seamlessly into your space without distracting from the artwork itself.
