Custom Framing Large Scale Art: Behind the Build with Beau Simmons

When Western fine art photographer Beau Simmons asked us to help bring one of his largest black and white prints to life, we saddled up.

Large Art and Bigger Logistics

The piece, a large scale art photograph measuring 82″ x 67″ titled Cowgirl Summer, was destined for a special client and needed to feel just as powerful as the story it tells. Beau’s signature style blends timeless Americana with raw emotional depth, so the framing needed to match in both scale and substance.

We started by printing the image on fine art photographic paper, then carefully mounted it for long-term durability and flawless presentation. From there, our team engineered a custom hardwood frame designed to support the weight and sheer size of the piece to ensure strength without sacrificing elegance.

The final touch? Optium Museum Acrylic. Known for its virtually invisible clarity and top-tier UV protection, this acrylic prevents warping or bowing (a common issue with art this large) and preserves the detail and depth of Beau’s photograph.

Pushing Boundaries, Preserving Stories

“There are very few framers around that can mount this large without the plexiglass bowing in the center,” Beau shared. “I’m beyond thrilled at the quality and the opportunity to now take my Western art to the next level.”

We’re honored to help Beau elevate the Western lifestyle through fine art that feels as grand as the open range. Cowgirl Summer now hangs proudly—flawlessly framed, museum-grade protected, and built to last for generations.
