Roger Nielsen studied fine art painting at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago in the late 1950's and early 60's. He set his art career aside to raise a family and develop Master Framers, a business that has attained a national reputation. As owner, he became known for his expertise in creative frame design, production and restoration of picture frames. As a member of the Professional Picture Framers association, he was instrumental in establishing a certification program and developing uniform standards for archival framing methods. 

 

You can find his frames in major museums, historical societies, and private art collections throughout the country.
