I recently made a decision to frame an heirloom. It is very precious to me as it tells the story of how this full length mirror supported a family of four. Destiny led me to Steve at Tremain Art in Evanston. Steve had unlimited patience in working with me to choose a frame. He even encouraged me to take several samples home with me to help with my decision. He is a master of detail and a very talented craftsman. He not only created a work of art that we will treasure forever, he treated it with loving kindness and respect for its history. He treated me like family and our heirloom as if it were his own. His wife Simona is a true asset as she partners with Steve in treating their customers with warm and supportive assistance. Tremain Art is a rare find. Doris Lazarus

My wife and I are high end collectors of 19th Century paintings and were referred to Steve Citron of Tremainart by a professor of art at the Northwestern University in nearby Evanston. We have sent several works of our collection to them over the years for restoration and framing repairs. We would not send our paintings to anyone else in the world. To us Steve Citron is our Pablo Picasso!

It is quite literally restorative to step inside the fine-art framing and restoration studios of G.A.Tremain! Leave the whiplash cadence of our guard-rail to guard-rail lives at the curb, and treat your artwork or photos to the time honored craftsmanship and good taste of a generation’s family-owned shop. Let the warm unpretentious, talented proprietors confidently guide you in selecting from an endless array of frames and matting...you are in good hands!! I guarantee, anyone will be completely delighted by the entire experience of G.A. Tremain!

Exceptional selection! A hidden treasure ! care and expertise of owner snd staff is exceptional. Restoration of a very sentimental piece was done with love snd care! look no further!

Talented, knowledgeable people. Their work is excellent too

While I own and operate a full service frame shop in the Chicago Loop, our staff never tries to do art restoration or antique frame restoration. It is not in our skill set, so we always defer to the experts. Steve Citron, owner of G.A. Tremain, is one that we work with frequently. Sometimes, what we do looks like magic to our clients. Steves results are much the same: Miracles made fresh daily. Highly recommended.

Steve did an incredible job bringing my grandfather’s paintings from the 1930s back to life. He also fixed the frames for me. He is very reasonably priced and a really nice guy. I highly recommend him.

Im beyond thrilled at the beautiful framing Steve did for my art work.Tremainart has a wide selection of framing material, etc. Steve was very generous with his time and assistance, helping me choose the perfect way to display paintings.

True Artistic Craft!! And reasonably priced. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

I have had several paintings restored by Steve at Tremain Art. The paintings are so beautiful and I am so happy I had them restored! If you are looking for a top notch painting restoration at a much more reasonable price than the downtown restorers charge, Tremain Art is the place to go!

If you need a picture restored or want very professional framing of that one and only picture... this is the place. You pay for quality. But it’s well worth it.
