This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features black flowers in the center of a distressed scene. From the moment I picked up my first camera, I have had to fuel a flame that continues to spark in creative photography, alternative printmaking, mixed media processes and contemporary art. With a strong educational background in Photography and Fine Art, my passion continues to grow. My inspiration and desire for photography have connected me to art in a way that is not explainable in words. I can only show others through the lens of my camera how I see and feel about the world that I live in today. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
