Trademark Global Michelle Calkins 'Building Blocks One' Canvas Art

Description

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features abstract blocks of color against a white background. It is her gift and she tries not to waste it. Michelle found solace in creation of art since childhood. Michelle's media of choice are oil and acrylic paint, oil pastel and photography. Michelle's influences are Edward Hopper, Andy Goldsworthy, ants, snails and people who paint things on the head of a pin. Having been a professional picture framer since 1990, the presentation aspect of the art world has been foremost on her mind. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting. 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. She is especially impressed with artists who create art that is not permanent, like sand painters and ice sculptors.
