Originally a graduate from a fine arts programme in Montreal, Meg Nicks had been looking for an opportunity to work in a field connected with the visual arts. When a framing business came up for sale in 1983, it seemed like a natural fit. A background in colour and design is fundamental to picture framing. While running a business takes a lot of time, she continues making art. Nature is her source of inspiration, expressed through drawing, painting, collage and photography.
Paul Goutiere’s love for cameras got him started as a newspaper photographer. He went on to spend many years in audio-visual technology and industrial electronics. He joined Meg in the framing business in the nineties. Paul’s wonderful ability to problem-solve has been a great asset as he designs object mounts and shadow boxes in addition to building picture frames of all sorts. He continues to pursue his interest in film photography, using medium format cameras.

The Edge Gallery and Custom Picture Framing Shop was created in 2008 by David and Kathy Foxcroft. Owning and managing a Frame Shop (FrameCo Custom Picture Framing) in Calgary for 20 years, they were inspired by the uniqueness of the Live/Work studios in the Spring Creek Mountain Village in the heart of Canmore. David is also a practicing visual artist, and his contemporary collage works are on display from time to time in the gallery.
