About Us
Laulea Taylor has been working with fine art for 30 years. She has done everything from archival custom framing, art installation, gallery curating and directing, fine art reproduction, fine art printing, public murals, business consultation, photo editing and restoration, digitizing and archiving, fine art conservation & restoration, frame restoration. She specializes in restoring antique gilded frames. There is no job too big or too small. She believes that a small sentimental work of art deserves the same treatment as one with immense monetary value.

She was the co-owner and operator of Pixel & Ink Fine Art Studio as well as co-owner and co-director of Trio Contemporary Art Gallery in Athens GA.

While providing these services She has also focused on collecting and curating a broad range of vintage treasures for purchase in her new boutique.
Testimonials
Congratulations on opening up Magpie in Chapel Hill! Your stunning rendering of our ‘before’ and ‘after’ images of coral reefs helped us win a Sundance Audience Choice Award, a Peabody Award, and the Emmy for our film Chasing Coral! Thank you!
You process images with an unparalleled combination technical wizardry and heightened aestheticism. When I showed some of your images to my colleagues out at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California, they commented, “We use Pixar for our post image processing – but we have never seen anything like this!” So good luck with your new venture. Lucky Chapel Hill that you are there!
Thanks for scanning our coral reef survey photos from Jamaica. The Natural History Museum, London (formerly The British Museum of Natural History) took one look and agreed to archived all 6,000 of them! And put them on the World Wide Web in perpetuity. So, right next to the Museum’s digital imagery of Charles Darwin’s work on coral reefs is your digital catalogue of our work on the same subject."
