Quality framing adds value to your art LilyCrest’s owner Cathy Clatworthy is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art & Design in Toronto, Ontario. Her early years, learning the custom picture framing trade, began at The Allery as a summer part-time job while attending college. It was several years later, working as a professional graphic designer, that Cathy later bought the Gallery . For the next 11 years she focused on the “Art of the Print”, selling investment-quality decorative antique engravings and old world maps, in the heart of downtown Toronto on Queen Street. During those years she developed her skills in custom picture framing & paper conservation . Her knowledge and expertise within her field awarded her designation CPF from the Professional Picture Framers Association in 1996. In 1998 she began working as an educational trainer for the picture framing industry and with America’s largest manufacturer Larson-Juhl Company of Atlanta. She has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada conducting training programs, specialized workshops and seminars for private galleries, government and corporate businesses. The year 2001 took her North to the Canadian sub-arctic participating in a new economic development program for the Territory of Nunavut. Cathy planted her roots in South Dakota in 1999, with her she brought her love for retail merchandising, sales and design. “ I have always wanted to buy a historic Dishwashers Vacuum Cleaners Floor Care Washers & Dryers Refrigerators Freezers Cooktops Ranges Ovens Lawnmowers Tools & so much more. 2901 Broadway Yankton, SD (605) 665-7861 building for my business and live above it just like the old time shopkeepers at the turn of the century.
