This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features two black and white cows in a snowy landscape. Memories from her childhood, extensive travels, challenges of motherhood in her forties, and a never-ending sense of restlessness have been the most influential factors in Aledanda's photographic journey. Originally from Milan, Italy, Aledanda left for America at 20 years old, eager to experience a different way of life. After initially spending time in Hawaii and California, it was in her forties that she settled on the East Coast, where she divides her time between a small horse farm in Pennsylvania and a home in Lake Como, Italy. 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.
