Art and Frames by Wood Gallery

Absolutely beautiful & unique art found here. The owner, Jill, is also a very gracious lady. Stop in and check it out, you will not regret it.

I first used Jill 15 years ago when I won a framing job she donated to a water polo auction– she framed my daughter’s CIF medals and water polo photos and made them look like Olympic medals! It was amazing. Fast forward 15 years, and I have now moved into my first home. I purchased some beautiful, unusual heritage pieces in India, and I needed them framed properly. Jill took her time, asked the history of each piece, and came up with exquisite frames for the art. I have friends and family members who range from collectors to artists to just plain folks who love beautiful things, and the framing has elicited comments like «I’ve never seen anything this beautiful» and «this is truly museum quality.» If you have a special piece of art, please do not hesitate to use this gallery to have it framed. Please look at the photos I posted of Kalighat and the Musical Instruments to see the pieces I’m referring to. The photos do not do them justice, but you can get an idea. I recommend Jill without hesitation.

I was beyond impressed ant the level of professionalism and wealth of knowledge possessed by this gallery. They carry beautiful fine art by local and international artists, They help you custom frame your memories and projects. They also help you restore your most valued photographs and art. They do it all! Jill, the owner, even preforms at home consultations. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this gallery. Please stop by and experience it for yourselves.

Jill and her staff are phenomenal. We absolutely love visiting her gallery to view all the great artwork (Chagall, Picasso, Miro, and various paintings from international and local atrists). Or, if we need something framed, she is our go-​to place. We have had her frame two pieces; both turned out so amazing, we just dropped off our third, and most treasured piece. There is absolutely no one else we trust to design and frame our most precious memories, from an autographed collage or basketball tickets and picture from our first date to restoring a painting done 30 years ago by my late great grandfather. Thank you for treating our memories as if they were your own. We can’t wait to find more projects for her to frame.

This is my 1^st review on Unilocal,and for good reason. This gallery really goes the extra mile. Jill has an uncanny eye for framing and what’s needed to make your artwork or photo «Pop». Jill makes framing seem like an art in and of itself. Once in the frame, you can’t imagine your chosen art piece outside of it. The frame not only becomes an extension of the piece but you start to get the feeling it can’t live without it. Wood Gallery has been framing my favorite artwork and memories for the better part of a decade or more before having ever even stepped foot in her gallery, until last week. I was on vacation in San Diego, with the family, when we decided to go to Coronado for the day, so we decided to stop in for our 1^st visit. WOW, I was amazed! I couldn’t help but get the feeling that I was stepping into a museum not a storefront. It was such a pleasure to finally meet Jill in person. The gallery had several hand signed lithographs of one of my favorite artists, Picasso, along with plenty of traditional and contemporary original artwork by a range of local and international artists. Jill’s staff was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable without a hint of attitude like so many other places. They have no problem with curious visitors who just want to walk in and take a look at the beautiful artwork.
I will continue to have my framing done exclusively by Jill and her art gallery. Coronado turned out to be a great little stop on our visit to Southern California. Art and Frames by Wood Gallery is a must stop when in Coronado. Don’t forget to ask for Jill!

I am amazed at the knowledge Jill has regarding framing fabulous art. She helped me frame a Chagall lithograph that I fell in love with. Without her guidance, I would have erred. The employees are very friendly and do not mind if you just want to walk in and gaze at some of the art pieces. Definitely put this store on your list if you plan on venturing to Coronado!
