Meet the Artist: The Vision Behind Legends in Labels

Decades of craftsmanship, a lifetime of vision. Lester Herbertson brings museum-grade standards to every Legends in Labels artwork.

Behind every Legends in Labels artwork is a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and an unwavering respect for fine art. At the heart of that story stands Lester, an artist, framer, and entrepreneur whose career spans decades, and whose passion helped shape one of North Atlanta’s most respected fine art framing studios: Regency Fine Art & Frame.

A Family Legacy Built by Hand

Regency Fine Art & Frame was not born from trends or shortcuts. It began as a family vision, built by Lester, his brother, and their family with one simple belief:

 art deserves to be treated with reverence.

What started as a framing business rooted in traditional techniques grew steadily through word of mouth, trust, and uncompromising standards. Every frame, every liner, every material choice was intentional — guided by a deep understanding that framing is not an accessory, but an extension of the artwork itself.

Over the years, that philosophy earned Regency a reputation for excellence across Roswell, Alpharetta, and the greater North Atlanta area.

Over 40 Years of Experience, Refined Into Luxury

With over four decades of hands-on experience, Lester has worked with an extraordinary range of pieces:

• Fine art and original paintings

• Signed jerseys and sports memorabilia

• Shadow boxes for guitars, medals, and heirlooms

• Military honors and historical artifacts

• Museum-grade displays for collectors and institutions

  
  

Each project is approached with the same mindset: this piece matters.

That commitment is what elevated Regency from a local framing shop into a luxury, high-end studio, trusted to transform personal stories into museum-quality presentations using only premium materials and proven techniques.

From Framing to Fine Art Creation

Legends in Labels was a natural evolution of Lester’s artistic journey.

Years spent studying proportion, balance, texture, and presentation led to a deeper exploration of art itself. The cigar-label medium, rich in history, typography, and character, became the perfect canvas to merge storytelling with craftsmanship.

Each Legends in Labels piece is:

• Designed by an artist who understands gallery standards

• Constructed with the same precision used in museum framing

• Finished with presentation in mind, not as an afterthought

This is not digital art.

 This is not mass production.

 This is handcrafted fine art, informed by decades of experience framing the world’s most meaningful pieces.

Where Art Meets Story

What truly defines Lester’s work is not just skill, it’s perspective.

After framing thousands of heirlooms, collectibles, and memories, he understands that art is personal. Whether it’s a cultural icon, a sports legend, or a custom portrait of someone deeply loved, each Legends in Labels piece is treated as a legacy object, something meant to be displayed, protected, and passed down.

That philosophy lives at the intersection of Regency Fine Art & Frame and Legends in Labels.

One preserves stories.

 The other creates them.

A Standard That Never Changes

When the artist becomes the canvas, every detail tells a lifetime of stories.

Today, Regency Fine Art & Frame stands as a destination for clients who value craftsmanship, precision, and authenticity. Legends in Labels carries that same standard forward, bringing fine art creation and museum-grade presentation together under one vision.

Because trends fade.

 Legends endure.
