About the shop

Michael
Pizzella

Pizzella Picture Framing & Fine Art has been on US-190 in Mandeville since 2014. Owner Michael Pizzella has been painting in oil and custom framing in southeast Louisiana since 2005 — art made and framed by the same hands.

The shop specializes in oil portraits of pets, homes, cars, and boats, alongside full-service custom framing with conservation materials. Just about anything you can think of.

Come by the shop to see the work, or feel free to call.

How a Commission Works

Send Your Photo

Share your favorite reference photo. Mike will review it and let you know if adjustments would make a stronger painting. No pressure, no commitment at this stage.

Approve the Plan

You'll get a size recommendation, medium suggestion, and a clear quote. Once approved, Mike begins the painting. Typical turnaround: 4 to 6 weeks.

Watch It Come to Life

Progress photos at key stages so you can see the painting develop. Adjustments happen along the way, not at the end.

Pick Up or Ship

Collect your finished painting from the Mandeville studio, or have it shipped nationwide. Custom framing available right here — same hands, same care.
