Picture This framing and gallery

Over the past several years I have been on a journey that has seen me go from being a redecorator of my home to become an art collector. On this journey I have visited most of the excellent art galleries that we are fortunate to have in the greater Edmonton region, and have made purchases at several of them. In my experience Picture This Gallery, although it is located in Sherwood Park, is one of Edmonton’s truly unique institutions, not unlike The Citadel Theatre, the Sugar Bowl, the Duchess Bakery, and the Winspear to name a few.

What makes Picture This unique is that not only is it an art gallery that represents many talented painters and sculptors, but it also does framing and offers educational classes and workshops. Picture This introduced me to the amazing sculptures of Roy Hinz, the whimsical creations of Vance Theoret, and fabulous steel sculptures of the unfortunately now retired Greg Metz. Several of each these sculptors’ works now grace my home.

I have also acquired several original and giclée paintings from Picture This. And I have brought some paintings that I acquired elsewhere to Picture This to be framed. Lastly, I have attended two of their interesting and informative classes. So I know this gallery and the people there exceptionally well.

But what has been most important in making me a repeat offender at Picture This, is the incredible service provided by Sue Soucy with whom I have primarily dealt. I have come to rely on Sue as a trusted consultant and advisor. She is not merely a salesperson selling art. As well as enthusiastically supporting what she thought were my well conceived ideas, Sue he has convincingly dissuaded me from several pieces I saw in Picture This because she believed they would not be a good fit from my space.

And Sue knows my space because she has visited it on several occasions to deliver large sculptures and help hang large paintings. Not only has Sue provided excellent advice on paintings by artists represented by Picture This, but she also enthusiastically offers objective and insightful opinions on the works of paintings and sculptures from elsewhere that I have considered acquiring. Whatever her always candid opinion might be, she always delivers it tactfully.In addition to helping me select art, Sue has also framed several paintings for me and I have to come to trust her expertise in this area as well because she nails it every time.

And a final way in which Sue has been exceptionally helpful to me has been the insightful advice she has offered on numerous occasions about the placement and arrangement of paintings, sculptures, and other artifacts in my home.

I might also add that when Sue has not been there, I have found both Carol and Caterina to be most helpful. On several occasions, I have asked Caterina for a second opinion on some issue because she has tremendous expertise and wonderfully thought out ideas that she expresses very clearly. So whoever you choose to help you at Picture This, I am confident you will be getting expert advice.

In conclusion, over many years and many enjoyable experiences I have developed tremendous trust in and respect for Picture This Gallery and Sue Soucy. If you take the opportunity to visit this amazing place, I am confident you will be exposed to some beautiful art and meet some wonderful folks.

Sue is inexplicably the Best,
Beautiful energy,understanding highly recommended for any framework

I have been a customer of Picture This for many years. Sue knows my style and always helps me make the correct choices to suit my home. Can't imagine anywhere better. Highly recommend them

We have been enjoying Picture This Gallery for 25+ years and it is still our place to enjoy art, to purchase art, to have art framed, to recommend to our friends, and to just visit Sue, Carol and the rest of the staff who go above and beyond to keep us informed of showings, new art or just to come in and see them. We were fortunate enough to be a recipient of one of the “Art in Miniature” pieces this year. We are the proud owners of a Vance Theoret bear (we do have a few of his pieces!!) His name is Tiny and he makes us smile.

If you enjoy art (of any type), Picture This offers a beautiful collection. The staff are very informative. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the Picture This family and hope to be for many years to come. Thanks for the memories!!!

I’m in the on position of having to buy art for my aunt. She gives out to her grandchildren when they get married. What we have done for the last four marriages is call Carol At Pictured This Galleries. We have never been disappointed. They provide great service answer every question and deliver a superior product. Thanks to Picture This and the dedicated staff we have hit a homerun every time. I would recommend you call them for any need that you may have. No question is too small no challenges to big . The five stars allowed is not enough to express the quality and service I’ve experienced. Marc Robinson
