About
Part engineer, part craftsman and designer, Bob often finds himself installing artifacts that are difficult to install. His knowledge of technical and structural components allows him to customize and securely place any piece of art.
Bob Kolata originally from Rochester New York, attended Pratt institute in Brooklyn then came to California to check out several art schools. Once he landed in Santa Barbara, Bob learned picture framing to display his own art work. During his 20 year tenure as a framer, his clients began asking him to install the art he framed, which led to his current career as a professional art installer. On his own since 1999, Bob says that installing art is a natural extension of framing.
His clients include interior designers, home and business owners in the Santa Barbara, Montecito and Los Angeles area.
