Mikki Kavich, MCPF, special guest
Mikki is an artist/framer who currently resides in Crossville, Tennessee. She has been framing pictures since 1983 and opened her own shop “Mikki’s Frame Shop” in 2005. A member of PPFA since 2005, Mikki became an MCPF in 2013 and is the current President of KY/TN Chapter.
Mikki loves to experiment with different media and techniques both in framing and her art. She considers herself an old school framer and artist. Mikki does not own a CMC because she enjoys the hands on approach to framing, mat cutting and decoration.
Over the years Mikki’s has taught many different art related classes and currently teaches regular furniture painting classes in her shop. Mikki is an active member of the French Matting community on Facebook.
Mikki is an avid vintage camper collector and restorer. She loves quilting in her spare time and is grandmother to 3 fabulous grandchildren all the time.
