Jan’s Memorial Shadowbox
Jan passed away at 46 years of age. Her mother Sylvia Eisler brought in two collages she had made as photo records documenting her daughter’s life for reframing. When she came to pick them up, she brought with her a number of envelopes containing memorabilia from Jan’s activities. Jan was a Girl Scout, Edina High School graduate, synchronized swimmer with the Aqua Nymphs, Junior Life Saver, member of the Water Skiing Association of America, and later became a successful real estate agent. The items included her scout sash full of merit badges, swimming award ribbons and medals, patches, jewelry, photos, graduation tassels, pens and pins from the agencies she worked for, and whimsical, wooden bobble-headed skier and boat driver. From the collection, Luke and Carisa created a dynamic shadowbox to showcase Jan’s accomplishments and preserve her memory.

"I have been working with Pam at Calhoun Beach Framing for many years - ever since a friend of mine in New York insisted she take my very sentimental antique photographs back home with her to Minneapolis so that her favorite framer could frame them. I have been going back ever since and have developed a long-distance framing relationship where I mail my framing projects to the store, Pam emails me ideas, we discuss them, and then she ships the finished work back to me. I've long believed that the frame is as important as the art that is being framed. Pam really understands this and has a great sense of proportion and aesthetics. Also, her prices are very fair - well below those in New York. Calhoun Beach Faming has framed many things for me, from antique photos to posters, artwork and contemporary photos. I am very particular about frames and won't go anywhere else. Considering I live 1,000+ miles away, that's a big endorsement."
