“Thank you for a spectacular lecture...
I was greeted this morning by several emails from members who were just thrilled with their experiences on Saturday. People noted your professionalism, wit, eloquence, and the overall informative and interesting topic presented. Of course, we couldn’t agree more–from start to finish, it has been a true pleasure working with you…
On behalf of all of us in Membership, thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a difference a Frame makes...
Work with an expert in framing your fine art.
Learn why curators and collectors across the United States have come to rely on Suzanne’s scholarship and experience to present their artwork appropriately and sensitively.
"There is no one who has a greater depth of knowledge of American frames and frame history than Suzanne Smeaton. She has an incredible eye for art and an ability to bring together the perfect marriage of painting and frame. I had the very great pleasure, over many years, of working with Suzanne to reframe some of the most important and beloved American paintings in the Yale University Art Gallery. Her passion and enthusiasm for each project was contagious."
– Helen A. Cooper, Holcombe T. Green Curator Emeritus of American Paintings and Sculpture, Yale University Art Gallery
