<ul><li>Artist: Shirley Novak</li><li>Subject: Animals</li><li>Style: Glam</li><li>Product Type: Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Art</li><li></li></ul> <p>This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a purple bird with splashy gold accents.Shirley Novak was born in Southern California. Her lifelong passion for flowers and color led her to follow her heart and also follow Claude Monet's example of being a gardener and a painter. Novak's style is colorful and juicy, using the design elements of her poppy plants extensively in her work: the lyrical and whimsical stems to lead the eyes and create rhythm; the pure and vibrant colors of the petals to delight; the impact of the poppy buds as accents and stepping stones to encourage the viewers' eyes to play in her images. She believes art is a path that honors our natural world, and reveals the artist's most intimate thoughts, feelings and passions. Novak has built a successful career in the print, licensing, and fine art professions.</p> <p>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.</p>
