About Us

Not only does Upper Bay Frame & Gallery offer custom framing services, but we were awarded "Best of the Bay Area's Frame Shop" and "Best Art Gallery" in 2010.

We carry many framed and unframed pieces of art from local artists in oils, watercolor, pastel and encaustics, as well as hand thrown pottery from local potters. We also have handmade jewelry by Sabine Stromeyer, hand turned wood bowls by Don Kirchoff and a constantly changing inventory of unique gift items, jewelry, and one of a kind custom painted furniture.
