Studio 3

At Studio 3, we are proud to have a rich history that spans over five decades. Founded in 1965 by Hilda Rath, our shop initially operated as a gift shop and art gallery. Over the years, we have evolved to specialize in custom picture framing, offering a wide range of services including photo restoration, professional printing, and enlargements. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail has earned us a reputation as the go-to destination for museum-quality framing in Downingtown, Exton, West Chester, Unionville, and Coatesville.

Our story is one of passion and dedication. Mary Holleran, who purchased the shop in 1978, had a deep understanding of art materials and framing, which she developed from a young age. She continued to grow the business, focusing on custom framing, until her retirement in 2007. Kyley DiLuigi, the current owner, took over the shop in 2007, bringing with her a degree in Fine Arts from Kutztown University. Kyley's love for art and framing has been instrumental in maintaining our high standards and expanding our services.

Despite the challenges posed by Hurricane Ida in 2021, which forced us to temporarily relocate, we remain committed to serving our community. Our new location is just minutes away from our original shop, and we are continuing to provide our customers with exceptional service and quality custom framing.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services, including custom framing for family photos, sports jerseys, children's art, needlepoints, and more. Our professional framers use great attention to detail to handcraft each project onsite. We also provide high-quality photo restoration services, professional printing, and enlargements. For those who cannot visit us in person, we have an online shop where you can purchase custom matting available for shipping across the US.

History of Our Shop

In the 1980s, we started a tradition of unique window displays that have been a focal point of the Downingtown Borough for over 30 years. These displays have become a beloved part of our community's identity and are a testament to our commitment to creativity and customer service.
