Trevor

PRESIDENT

Trevor spent 30 years running computer software development teams across the globe. Originally from Blackpool, England, his career brought him to the US in 1982 and to Denver in 2006. His epiphany came in the fall of 2009 when he finally decided that he’d never find the perfect company to work for unless he ran it himself, and so he purchased AUM Framing & Gallery and later Dry Creek Gold Leaf and, finally, Cherry Creek Custom Framing, now all housed under one roof on E. Colfax Ave.

Trevor loves traveling (especially to a beach), good food, wine, and microbrews, possessing a particular fondness for IPAs. He loves muscle and sports cars, fishing, hockey, baseball, and, of course, art, which is why this job is a perfect match for him.

Jeff

LEAD DESIGNER / MASTER FRAMER

Jeff is likely to be the first person you meet as you enter the store, as he spends most of his day in the design area. He has custom framed all kinds of art for more than 40 years. He trained at Turner Art Gallery in Denver in the early 80’s. At that time, Turner was the oldest gallery and frame shop in Colorado and, according to many, the best. Jeff’s biased, but knowledgeable, view is that AUM Framing and Gallery/Dry Creek Gold Leaf is now Denver’s finest custom frame shop.

“My Biological Makeup: ½ husband, father, grandfather, & flyfisher who also loves journaing, illustrating, and playing the guitar. ½ custom picture framer/designer.

I’ve been doing this long enough to confidently say it’s not my first rodeo. At AUM, we do what we love and we love what we do… come on in, let us do what we love for you!”

Gloria

SENIOR DESIGNER / FRAMER

Gloria has been framing for over 40 years and especially enjoys framing textiles, which is not surprising given that three of her hobbies are needlework, quilting, and rug hooking - both traditional and punch needle. She is extremely knowledgeable in Museum/Conservation Framing techniques. She worked at the renowned Platte River Art Services before that company closed its doors, where her favorite project was framing vintage bathing suits and caps.

In her spare time, Gloria is an avid gardener and birdwatcher. She enjoys photographing birds and using the photos as references for her drawings. In her garden, Gloria gathers caterpillars and releases them when they become butterflies.

David

SENIOR DESIGNER / FRAMER

David has been framing for over 40 years, beginning his career in New Orleans and moving to Denver to work at Turner Art Gallery in Cherry Creek in the mid-80s. Having gained extensive experience in framing antique botanicals, collectible etchings, maps, and engravings, he opened his own business in Crested Butte in 1988.

He spent 20 years running that business before moving to a gallery in Austin, TX and then to a frame shop in Dallas, TX, where he did work for Dallas Art Museum and other museums in the area. In 2020, he moved back to CO working for a frame shop in Basalt whose main clients were Aspen Art Museum and Gallerie Maximillian. He joined us in mid-2021.

In his spare time he collects books and writes (some of his poetry has been published). He also loves baseball and mountain biking.

Heather

SENIOR DESIGNER/FRAMER

Heather has been framing since just before starting school at The Columbus College of Art and Design. She has been dedicated to the profession ever since, and has passed the Certified Picture Framers exam. She has extensive experience framing vintage posters, antique maps, needleworks, as well as original artworks in every medium.

Heather likes to spend her spare time with her family and friends doing art projects, cooking, traveling, and visiting museums. She tries to visit the Denver Art Museum as often as she can to see the latest exhibit as it is one of her favorite places to spend time.
