JDewers was established in 1980 in the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego as a quality frame shop to serve art lovers, artists, fine art galleries, art and design professionals, corporate art collections, art collectors and museums.

The current owner, Janos Novak took over the business in 2000.

Janos is uniquely qualified as a designer and maker of picture frames. He has decades of hands-on experience working at the Balboa Art Conservation Center in Balboa Park, San Diego, where he was employed as an Art Conservation Technician, frame maker and frame restorer. He assisted the Paintings and Paper Conservation Departments in many areas of conservation and restoration, for many prominent museums and collections in the South West. He brings that wealth of knowledge to his business.

Thanks to his rare and valuable years of experience working with Museum Art Conservators, Janos maintains an unparalleled high standard of art framing at JDewers, where all picture framing services are museum quality, following the latest in professional guidelines.
