When our neighbor Mayolo understood that Amy and I needed frames for our paintings in our little village in southern Mexico, he said, “I can make them out of tin!” My first reaction was to say no. I had never shown a painting in a tin frame and considered it cheap material that is used to preserve foods. Mayolo insisted he could do something that would make us happy. We decided to try one.

I don’t understand Spanish and Mayolo does not speak English⏤Amy does her best to interpret.
We collaborated with Mayolo to use motifs from our paintings as frame elements, and, the magnificent results that Mayolo created are mind blowing.

Mayolo delivers frames that truly delight, proving he is a master craftsman and ingenious artist.

Since that first frame, he has delivered to us nine more⏤each distinctly custom made with unique embellishments that enhance the art. In fact, each piece is itself a work of art and adds great value. Thank you, to our dear friend and brother, the one and only Mayolo!

Truly awesome!
Hi Folks… Can it tell you just how much of a ‘whirlwind blessing’ it was to spend moments together AND to meet Mayolo…. Stephen
