I had Travis Humphreys on today, and he owns Gold River Gallery in Cedar City, Utah. Travis is such an interesting guy. He surprised us at the gallery, delivering a group of hand-carved frames that he made for two of my artists, Dennis Ziemienski and Josh Gibson. So I asked him, "Would you like to do a podcast?" I only kind of knew his backstory before this podcast. It's an interesting story because he's an artist who turned into a framer. Travis is responsible for the Mark Maggiori frames and several other huge names in Western art as well. I was thrilled when he was like "Yeah, sure, I'll do it."

We both just got to talking for almost an hour about how you get into the framing business. We spoke about the obstacles you face when making frames, what the future holds for the framing business, as well as what do you do if you're a young artist trying to figure out framing.

Framing is a very important component of what we do. If you have art that is collectible art, not just decorative art, things that are going to last hopefully for generations - you want to get the frame right. So it's important to have somebody in your corner like Travis. Someone that can give us sage guidance and a great product.

I really enjoyed talking to Travis Humphreys and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
