Susan earned the designation of Master Picture Framer (MCPF) in October, 2007. This is the highest designation from the Professional Picture Framers Association. After passing an intensive four-hour hands on exam, she joins 70 other framers worldwide who have earned this title.  She is the only picture framer in the Philadelphia area with this designation and takes update classes yearly to maintain her certification.    Press Release about Susan’s MCPF Designation
