This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a pink flamingo standing in the center of the frame.JIM MAZZOTTA grew up by the “shore” in South Jersey soaking in all the crazy people and sights that inhabited the hot summers by the boardwalk in the 60s and 70s. All this provided a colorful backdrop in which to grow up while attending Catholic School fiercely patrolled by menacing nuns .The carnival atmosphere, sounds, smells, and colors delivered Jim lots of raw creative material to work with as a young artist. Jim made landfall at another beach shaded with palms in SW Florida. While working in the newspaper business as a political cartoonist, illustrator, photo editor and chief bottle washer for anything thatrequired his visual talents, his award winning work appeared in the NY Times, US News, London Times and many other national publications. Today Jim and his artist wife, Kathleen, own and operate their island art gallery steps from the Gulf of Mexico. They often collaborate on art projects.
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.
