Instead, he practices the centuries-old art of frame-making, creating simple or grand frames for any style of art. “The art world equivalent of Ginger Rogers – in the sense of making the main attraction look good – frames have long subtly shaped the viewer’s experience while being taken for granted.” J. Peder Zane, New York Times, 10/29/15. Scott takes pride in hand-making museum quality frames, but he also creates simple ones for us ordinary folks. All of his frames incorporate true woodworking joinery. They range from oil-rubbed hardwoods, to veneer or faux finishes, all the way to gilded frames in the museum work for which he is renowned. Clean and simple, or elaborately hand-carved from locally-sourced wood milled in his garage, each of Scott's frames is unique to its own "Fred Astaire." Millcreek-born-and-raised, Scott’s fruit-raising ancestors helped to settle East Millcreek. On graduation from Olympus High, Scott went to England, first on a church mission, then later to undertake a woodworking apprenticeship. On his return to Utah, Scott worked in several frame shops and galleries before deciding to open his own business to do framing “right.” He currently works out of his house in Millcreek on 9th East at 3060 South. The moniker “second artist” was given to the top student of a Renaissance master, the one tasked with finishing, framing and delivering a piece to its owner. Scott initially embraced this title for himself, founding his business "The Second Artist" in 1983. He now has his own second artist: Adrienne Winter, the head framer at the Phillips Gallery in Salt Lake, has been apprenticing with Scott for the last several years. She hand-carved the frame corners in the photo below. Now in her fourth year of study with Scott, Adrienne is a hard-working ---PAGE BREAK--- 5/31/2019 Millcreek has its own Renaissance "Second Artist" 3/10 quick study, whose work has made it possible for the return of such old techniques as true water gilt framing. In all that he does, Scott remains aware of the context in which his work exists. His frames are not merely frames they work with the artwork they hold to create a beautiful presentation. He is well aware that everything is beautiful and worth appreciating-- even the structures that hold up masterpieces. "Beauty can be found in every part of life as long as one is willing to take the time and work for it." M. Scott Gardner Although his frames are works of art in and of themselves, Scott says, “The most important work a framer can do is protect the work of art it surrounds.” He recommends you look at your framed pieces – is there corrugated cardboard on the back? Is the bevel of the matting yellowing or brown? These are red flags that might affect the value of your piece. Go see Scott. He can help you with your ill-framed pieces and with your unframed art.

We are fortunate to have access to this old-school artistry right in our own neighborhood. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5/31/2019 Millcreek has its own Renaissance "Second Artist" 4/10 "Trained in carving and gilding, I hear more and more requests for simple wood frames...economic concerns. Simple wood does not have to mean plain or blah. Here's a spectacular piece of maple in a simple profile." M.

Crossing guards get up early every school morning to go out in every type of inclement weather and deal with speeding vehicles and unhappy drivers. Their job is to make sure our kids stay safe. We have 42 crossing guards in Millcreek, all of whom are dedicated to helping our children get safely to Millcreek's seven elementary schools. Millcreek was proud to recognize these 42 people at the first annual Crossing Guard Appreciation Luncheon held at City Hall on May 29th. The Millcreek City Council and Mayor Silvestrini thank the UPD Citizens Advisory Board members for helping provide donations and support for the luncheon. Thanks also to the UPD officers who helped recognize the work the Crossing Guards do. In particular, thanks go to UPD Detective Bettina Allen for her help organizing the luncheon.
