The business has evolved into the areas of consulting, framing, delivery, installation and lighting of artwork and mirrors for residential and commercial projects. “We didn’t necessarily set the sails for our children to take over the business but are certainly pleased with the way things have worked out,” Brent proudly explained. After graduating from the College of Charleston in 2012, his daughter, Bess, started in the business part-time and fell in love with it. Her appreciation of art along with her love of working with her hands made her quickly realize this was something she enjoyed. “Each day is different. You never see the same project twice, and I love working with the clients and our great staff,” said Bess, who has been managing the business since 2016. Brent’s son, Robert (Rob), recently joined the business and is working with his father in the areas of installation and consulting. He is enjoying learning the construction, engineering and technical aspects of installing and lighting large pieces of valuable art.
