Nails and Staples by Patty Tuggle, 16 by 24-Inch Canvas Wall Art

This gallery-wrapped art piece features nails and staples in wood. Patty Tuggle is a photographer whose interest lies primarily in up-close and personal scenes in nature. From plants and animals to rustic architectural features, her photographs highlight the subtle details that one might otherwise overlook. Her artist statement: "Nothing can compare to God's creations, I merely want to capture those creations or situations that you may have missed." 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.
