Art from Fulcrum Gallery Review

The opportunity to review art that is custom matted and framed by the Fulcrum Gallery could not have presented itself at a better time.  We moved into our house in November, and since then I have been obsessing over what to put on the large wall in our living room opposite the front door.

Customers select a print they like, and then are presented with a variety of options regarding presentation.  One can have it on gallery or museum canvas, or custom framed and matted.  I chose to have mine framed and matted.

The hardest part for me was selecting a print.  There is such an incredible number of beautiful prints that I was almost overwhelmed.  It seriously took me four days to decide upon a print.

I am a fan of animal related art, which is probably no surprise, and started my search in that category of their website.

I am in love with the animal series by Stephen Fowler, and almost selected one of them.  Of course many of the wolf prints caught my eye.  In fact, several of Dean Russo's works tempted me. I even branched out and looked at non-animal related prints, like an antique style map.

In the end, I chose one that surprised Les, but he and I both LOVE it.

I love birds of all sorts, and the Fulcrum Gallery had plenty of pieces featuring doves to choose from.

For anyone interested in reading more about doves, plenty of information can be found on this website.

I selected the mat width and color, and framing color, width, and style.  There are many options of each to choose from, and it was quite fun making these selections.

Each piece is hand-framed and inspected.

My art arrived in a well constructed box that I feel could withstand any sort of deliver trauma, and included the hardware to hang it on the wall.

As I had mentioned, this opportunity came at a great time.  We had this large empty wall space, and I couldn't decide what to do with it.


It looks much better now with my beautiful framed print on it.


Fulcrum Gallery was incredibly easy to work with, and the time between making my selection and receiving my art was very acceptable at about seven days, considering that it is matted and framed by hand, and then individually inspected.

Fulcrum Gallery can be found on FacebookTwitter, and Pinterest.

  4. We just got something from them recently too, and I'll be blogging about it soon. We were also thrilled with the quality of what we got and how quickly. I love yours too....and it was SO difficult to choose...I also went on there for several days before I could decide!
