Kenny Martin b.1974

I have been presenting artwork in frames for exhibition for nearly 30 years.

I am an experienced British artist, fine art photographer and picture framer living in Hautes-Pyrénées 65 in France. Passionate about picture framing, photography, bushcraft and the french way of life.

I make unique bespoke picture frames to order in my workshop using locally sourced wood, usually french oak.

I love working with french oak; its’ complex grain and and the mysterious medulary rays that are revealed when the wood is quarter sawn; this still captivates me as every piece of wood is unique.

I try to reveal the character and contrasts in the wood within the frames that I make. Natural wood finishes are employed and I routinely polish each frame, sometimes up to 5 times with pure beeswax polish, to get a mirror-gloss shine.

My frames are durable and will easily last a lifetime. Should it ever be necessary the finishes can be restored as they are of natural origin.

I offer my picture framing skills to everyone local to the Hautes-Pyrénées region where I live in France.


When you have carried a camera around with you for as long as I have you generate a photographic archive.

The Print shop showcases some of my best creative work.

Fine art prints are available across a range of different sized limited edition formats to suit all collector spaces.

I have been selling my artwork since 1997 and online from 2006. I have shipped prints all over the world to collectors in Scotland, England, France, Spain, Germany, Finland, Greece, Australia, USA, Japan and Hong Kong.

I hope you enjoy the work.
