About Us
A Unique Framing Experience
Side Door Framing has been framing throughout the Hudson Valley and the New York metropolitan area for over 30 years. Our framing expertise is enriched by a robust repertoire of skills in custom carpentry, color theory, and design, with a combined 70+ years of experience as professional sculptor, painter, and artisans.
Side Door Framing is based in a historic Peekskill home with a showroom and on-site workshop in the converted barn. Unlike retail storefronts, we are by appointment only designed to give you our fullest attention and care. We service clients in Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland, Orange and Ulster counties, as well as New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Family-Owned Local Business
Alex and Lesli Uribe have been thriving off of each other's creative energy since meeting at The Cooper Union School of Art in 1987. Over the years they have created a family-run art framing business and curated a unique and eclectic, home based art gallery.
Lesli started her art career at Cooper Union. Since then she has become an accomplished painter. As a professional artist, she understands the use color and texture. With her expertise, she crafts masterful compositions for every framed piece. Lesli's mantra: "A beautiful painting deserves a beautiful frame."
Alex's passion for craftsmanship began with his father - a Colombian artist and sculptor who taught him, as a young boy, to frame his own work. In Alex's extensive career as a sculptor and master carpenter, he developed a broad range of skills which guide his framing expertise.
He now shares his expert trade and passion for craftsmanship with his apprentice and daughter, Vanessa, who received a formal education in fine art and instructed art classes in Manhattan before returning to Peekskill to carry on the framing tradition.
