About Luba & Sketch

Sketch Art & Framing was originally an artist supplies shop from 2008-2016. Since shutting down our brick & mortar location in Mount Pleasant, Luba has focused on custom picture framing and giclee printing services. You can find her working in the shop, answering emails or social media messages online, or making art in the detached garage studio workshop.
