Vilis Kuksa Welcome to our site! I started Penarth Framing Services back in 1987, whilst working as a freelance press photographer. My daughter Beverley, now works with me in the shop. We carry out custom framing for personal callers and sell fine art prints, open & limited editions, posters and photographs. My photography is mainly of Penarth & Cardiff by day, by night & from the air, as well as commissions for elevated & aerial photography. Beverley Kuksa Hi, I'm Bev, As well as framing, I help customers with their choice of mounts & frames and recommend the best way and method to present artwork. Prints & photos are displayed in the shop, or you can order them from our various catalogues. We can usually locate a specific print for you by artist's name.

Particularly by the Commended Framer Exam, which Vilis passed in 1997. The Commended Framer scheme, distinguishes the skilled from the semi-skilled, to help the public select a professional framer who will apply a high level of expertise to the conservation and display of their artwork.
