Kate Hudak has spent her career preserving the pieces that matter most to people. As owner of A Gallery West, a custom picture framing studio serving the west side of Cleveland, Kate took the reins of the business from her mother and has since built it into a trusted destination for conservation-quality framing — the kind of care that keeps photographs, artwork, and heirlooms looking their best for generations.

With a background spanning well over a decade in the framing industry, Kate brings a deep, hands-on knowledge of materials, design, and preservation to every project that comes through her door. She and her team offer an extensive selection of frame and mat choices, giving clients the flexibility to find exactly the right fit for any piece — from a treasured family photo to a one-of-a-kind work of art.

What sets Kate apart is the relationship she builds with the people she works with. “I feel that I have become, in some cases, the family historian for my clients,” she says. Clients regularly entrust her with heirlooms, milestone photos, and pieces that carry real sentimental weight — and she considers it an honor every time.
