Woodland Art and Frame

at Dave was starting his teaching career and Mom
asked him if he would learn the picture framing trade. Dave worked as
an apprentice for no pay from Sherwood McCall who was the framer
for Houston Art and Frame. Sherwood was a fabulous teacher who
knew and still is a master of the art of picture framing. Dave started framing pictures for Wishing Well and some other craft
businesses and then left the teaching career to open Woodland Art and
Frame in 1981. As a matter of fact, in three weeks, Dave left teaching
and started the business, Kristen was born, and Cindy quit her job
because she could not bear to be away from Kristen. There were very
few customers at this brand new shop which is only four doors down
from the present location of Woodland Art and Frame. Dave drove substitute bus routes for Conroe ISD with his Masters
degree in teaching and after awhile, the business grew. Cindy soon
began bringing baby Kristen and later baby Sarah to the shop with her
and learned the trade rapidly. In 1986, Dave returned to band directing and has been in education to
this day. Cindy took over the operation of Woodland Art & Frame and
has run the business for 41 years. Some incredible bonds have been made between our loyal customers
and Cindy and Dave. Some of these customers have been with us for
decades. The family now has hundreds and hundreds of members. Hugs
are even abundant with life stories frequently exchanged between
customer and framer and the rest is history!
