Winter Shadows by PIPA Fine Art, 16x24-Inch Canvas Wall Art

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a black & white photograph of the sun casting long shadows of trees across a snowy landscape. Melissa fatigue has always had an appreciation and passion for visual arts or visual storytelling but her career in photographic art did not start until 2009. In 2011, Melissa established Pi photography and fine art and in October of 2013 Melissa received her degree in digital photography for the art Institute of Pittsburgh. With visual storytelling, Melissa discovered that there is huge potential to express a more creative and personal vision on (to some individuals) ordinary subjects that are normally passed by without a second thought. Focusing her attention on Delaware allows Melissa to discover not only beautiful landscapes that Delaware offers but the chance to invoke mood and character of the region she lives in. Seeking to capture the beauty, or convey the emotional qualities of a place or moment in nature, her images have elicited responses ranging from evocative, to spiritual and breathtaking. Melissa became a national and international award winning landscape photographer in 2014 and to date, has had over 3 dozen published nature and landscape photos in various media outlets. 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.
