Artist: Tom Kelly Subject: Landscape Style: Coastal Product Type: Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Art Made in USA This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features water splashing up onto rocks in the center of the frame. Tom was born in Marquette Michigan, the son of a physics professor and art teacher, always being exposed to arts, crafts and the wilderness of Michigan upper peninsula. At the age of twelve, Tom was introduced to a black and white darkroom and was immediately captivated by the magic that took place, processing film and producing a finished print. Years later Tom now has the experience of black and white, color printing, lab work and now the digital age of photography. After photography and business school, Tom started a photographic business, working with the Ann Arbor art association teaching artist how to shoot slides of their art work to present to galleries. 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.
