FRANK NORWOOD started his career as a printmaker specializing in etchings printed from copper plates as a grad student in 1967 under Charles Morgan at the University of Georgia. He moved to Colorado in 1970 and lived in Denver producing etchings and teaching classes to survive. In '73 he moved to the Roaring Fork Valley and continued to work on etchings. In 1982 he and wife opened "The Framer" upstairs in the Dinkel Building in Carbondale. The frame shop grew into Main Street Gallery and The Framer and moved onto the corner of Main Street in the center of Carbondale, where the gallery is celebrating 26 years in business.

The "busy-ness" of running the gallery and picture framing business has kept frank from continuing his printmaking career, but he continues to show a few of his most popular works in his galleries in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs.

MAIN STREET GALLERY and The Framer has grown with the town of Carbondale and serves as a trusted source of art works and framing for individuals, businesses and designers throughout western Colorado.
